Johnstown-Monroe Superintendent Damien Bawn said he is hopeful the changes to the No Child Left Behind Act that President Barack Obama announced last week will lead to positive outcomes.
Bawn and other Ohio education officials have withheld judgment on the president’s plans to overhaul the law and are waiting for more specifics.
“I view the president’s plan as a natural and positive move if it means we are moving toward more accurate ways of measuring what students know and are able to do,” Bawn said.
Obama called for a 7.5 percent increase in education spending in the budget plan he released Feb. 1. He also suggested the government scrap the law’s 2014 deadline that all students be proficient at basic skills.
