The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) waiver impacts New Jersey schools by developing a fair accountability system based on growth and focusing state resources on improving persistently failing schools and those with large achievement gaps. The waiver establishes college and career-ready standards, differentiated school recognition and support, and reduced regulatory burdens for schools. Pending proposals include modifying tenure laws, expanding high-quality charter schools, and creating regional achievement centers to assist priority and focus schools.
