Summary
For over a decade, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was a federal law in the United States that mandated that every student in public schools must be proficient in core academic subjects (math, science, and language arts) by the summer of 2014. If schools failed in this goal, then there would be consequences. Schools could be taken over by the state or closed down, personnel could lose their jobs (or be forced to reapply with the new regime at a school), and funding could be withheld.
