Congress is headed out of town, and so am I.

I’ll leave the blog in the capable hands of my colleague, Alyson Klein. Alyson and I work together reporting stories (see here and here) for the Washington section for Education Week.

Although August is traditionally a slow news month in Washington, I’m sure Alyson won’t lack for NCLB news. States are starting to release their AYP results, schools are getting ready for to start the 2007-08 year, and tutoring providers soon will start recruiting students. There’s never a break from NCLB news.

I’ll return on Aug. 20, and I look forward to reading what Alyson writes.

A version of this news article first appeared in the NCLB: Act II blog.
