LOCAL-FLEXIBILITY
DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
Seattle Public Schools is the first district in the nation to receive approval of its plan and to take advantage of the Local-Flexibility provision under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
This plan allows the District to consolidate specific federal formula grant funds to meet local priorities in exchange for increased accountability for student academic success.
The intent of the District's Local-Flexibility Plan is to improve the quality of teaching and learning such that all students will meet State standards by the 2013-2014 School Year.
