Senate Sends Obama Education Bill

The way the nation's public schools are evaluated is headed for a major makeover, with a sweeping shift from federal to state control over school accountability and student testing. On Wednesday the Senate voted 85-12 to approve legislation rewriting the landmark No Child Left Behind education law of 2002, now widely unpopular and criticized as unworkable and unrealistic. The measure now goes to the White House, where President Barack Obama is expected to sign it.
