FACT: Sen. Alexander’s Every Child Ready for College or Career Act would stop the U.S. Department of Education from acting like a “National School Board”

Secretary Alexander advised the president to veto the bill if it came to his desk, because the legislation “creates at least the beginnings of a national school board that could make day-to-day school decisions on curriculum, discipline, teacher training, textbooks, and classroom materials… A federal recipe dictating how to operate a local school board does not make schools better.”
