NCLB (No Child Left Behind)

Definition: Federal legislation aiming to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools, as well as providing parents more flexibility in choosing which schools their children will attend.

What This Means: NCLB is the source for many of the data collection and reporting mandates for schools, districts, and states. Complying with NCLB has motivated states to upgrade their information systems to be more flexible and based upon individual records rather than pre-calculated, aggregate statistics.
