The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (3/14, Weigand) reports, "With students set to take Pennsylvania System of Student Assessment exams this week, educators warned that the number of schools failing to meet tougher math and reading standards likely will rise, and the burden to fix problems will lie largely with school districts. State officials use the PSSA as a benchmark to determine which schools or districts need to improve, and they wield considerable power to make changes when students don't make the academic progress mandated by" NCLB. According to the Tribune-Review, "Last year, nearly 18 percent of Pennsylvania schools failed to meet state standards under" NCLB.
