AL HR925

Urges Congress to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind) using current funding formulae rather than competitive grant processes.

Asserts that states, not the federal government, should have principal responsibility and flexibility to develop student learning standards and evidence-based activities to measure them.

Requires coordination of federal, state, and local data collection to meet instructional needs and ensure transparency; advocates for investment in both state and local data systems.

Notes that local school systems currently employ over 5,800 education personnel funded through federal grants and oppose competitive grant processes that would disadvantage financially strapped Alabama schools.

Directs that a copy of the resolution be provided to each member of Alabama's Congressional delegation.
