Welcome 110th Congress!

The 110th Congress took power this morning, and legislation on the minimum wage will be addressed next week. CNN has the story.

Also, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute has published a report titled “Crystal Apple: Education Insiders’ Predictions for No Child Left Behind’s Reauthorization.” 

The report has what is perhaps not the most rigorous methodology (basically, ‘we asked a a dozen experts for their opinions.’ ) But at only a page of text followed by graphics, it is worth the read. The main argument is that Congress will not reauthorize No Child Left Behind this year, despite pressure from the Bush administration.
