QUESTION:

Is the No Child Left Behind Act adequately funded?

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION:

Federal funding for K-12 education actually has increased markedly since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act and the funds are targeted, to an unprecedented extent, to communities with the largest concentrations of low-achieving and low-income students. For more information on K-12 education funding and the federal education budget, including summaries of budgets and budget proposals see: 10 Facts About K-12 Education Funding and Budget Office -- U.S. Department of Education.
