Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 11 page paper considers ethical issues related to the NCLB Act. The essay begins with the major provisions of the Act and the funding levels for 2004. The ethical issues raised are: Chicago's refusal to stop their public tutoring program paid for with NCLB funds (they failed to meet the criteria to continue funding their own program). The ethical issue addressed is the law versus the child's needs. Another ethical issue discussed is the fact that every state is sitting on NCLB money they have not distributed to local districts and they have been holding these monies for over three years, in most cases. The essay ends concluding most educational leaders will not face the same ethical issue that exists in Chicago but they will face another issue. This is discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

use of Federal education dollars; and a stronger emphasis on reading, especially for our youngest children (U.S. Department of Education, 2004). The Act requires schools and school districts to improve
annually, which is to be demonstrate by standardized testing processes for grades 3 through 8 (U.S. Department of Education, Executive, 2004). Schools that fail to meet adequate yearly progress (AYP)
goals will face corrective action (U.S. Department of Education, 2004). Another provision of the NCLB Act is for districts to allocate 20 percent of the specified Title I funds "to
