<P> The act did not assert a national achievement standard--each state developed its own standards . NCLB expanded the federal role in public education through further emphasis on annual testing, annual academic progress, report cards, and teacher qualifications, as well as significant changes in funding . </P> <P> The bill passed in the Congress with bipartisan support . By 2015, criticism from right, left, and center had accumulated so much that a bipartisan Congress stripped away the national features of No Child Left Behind . Its replacement, the Every Student Succeeds Act, turned the remnants over to the states . </P> <P> The legislation was proposed by President George W. Bush on January 23, 2001 . It was coauthored by Representatives John Boehner (R - OH), George Miller (D - CA), and Senators Edward Kennedy (D - MA) and Judd Gregg (R - NH). The United States House of Representatives passed the bill on May 23, 2001 (voting 384--45), and the United States Senate passed it on June 14, 2001 (voting 91--8). President Bush signed it into law on January 8, 2002 . </P> <P> No Child Left Behind requires all public schools receiving federal funding to administer a statewide standardized test annually to all students . Schools that receive Title I funding through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 must make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in test scores (e.g. each year, fifth graders must do better on standardized tests than the previous year's fifth graders). </P>
