In a significant development just as the No Child Left Behind Act is turning 6 years old this week, a federal appeals court has revived a major lawsuit challenging the federal education law as an unfunded mandate.

Education Week reported in 2005 on a federal district judge dismissing the suit, which is backed by the National Education Association.
I’ll have more on the 6th Circuit decision soon.
