While lawmakers continue to propose legislation for the reauthorization of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), none of the measures have managed to gain bipartisan support. Experts agree that despite these new proposals, NCLB will most likely not be reauthorized this year. In typical fashion, Republicans and Democrats cannot agree on the federal government's role in school accountability.

Summer is traditionally the education conference busy season. After all, this is when most teachers are freed from the responsibilities of the classroom and are thinking about new plans and techniques for the upcoming year. As tempting as it may seem to just spend your summer flitting from one conference to the next, it's neither practical nor affordable.

As reported on the AAE Blog, there is a pension crisis brewing across the country. In large cities including Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Philadelphia, law makers are struggling to find long term solutions to chronically underfunded pension and benefit accounts. As previously stated, Milwaukee and Cleveland have devised plans to spread the burden of teacher pensions on taxpayers, teachers, and the school districts, while Philadelphia has yet to come up with a feasible plan. Due to inactivity, teachers across the city were laid off this week due to budget cuts.
