NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
Implementation Station
As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act, the federal government today is spending more money on elementary and secondary (K-12) education than at any other time in the history of the United States. Federal K-12 education funding to states and local schools has increased by an historic $6.9 billion (from $17.4 billion in FY 2001, the final Clinton budget, to $24.3 billion in FY 2004) since the hallmark education reform legislation was signed into law.

Title I aid for disadvantaged students, the cornerstone of the No Child Left Behind Act, has increased by 41% since 2001, to $12.3 billion for FY 2004.

In fact, Title I funding received a larger combined increase during the first two years of President Bush’s administration than it received in the previous seven combined under President Clinton.
 
Despite the twin challenges of war and economic uncertainty, President Bush and Congress have expanded funding for all of America ’s education priorities. Research and opinion polls consistently show Americans believe the most important factor in improving America ’s schools is high standards and accountability for results - not spending. Republicans in Congress, under the leadership of President Bush, have provided both the resources and the reforms Americans want for education.
