Abstract | The Maryland legislature's success in blocking a state takeover of low-performing schools in Baltimore under the No Child Left Behind Act raises the prospect of political resistance in other states that might attempt such intervention. While no other state has yet invoked the federal law to take control of a school, the experience in Maryland could be an indicator of things to come as state education officials try to implement the most dramatic sanctions called for in the 4-year-old law. The state board of education voted March 29 to approve the plan, acting on provisions of the NCLB law that outlines five options for state intervention in a school that has failed to meet annual performance goals for five consecutive years. Those options are: (1) converting the school to a charter school; (2) replacing all or most of the staff; (3) contracting with an independent entity to run the school; (4) a state takeover; or (5) changing the school's governance.
