U.S. Secretary of Education Cites TN as Example of State Deserving NCLB Waiver

From the Knoxville News Sentinnel site Humphrey on the Hill:

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today cited Tennessee as an example of a state that has "done a great job" in setting education standards and deserving of a waiver from No Child Left Behind.

Duncan's comments came in a telephone news conference with reports around the nation to outline his general plans for granting waivers to NCLB. Specifics will be provided next month, he said, and the process of granting approvals will begin shortly thereafter.

While he stopped short of specifically saying Tennessee would be granted a waiver, Duncan came pretty close.
