U S Dept of Ed Launches School Information Site

On January 29, 2004, Secretary Rod Paige participated in the launch of the School Information Partnership web site.

The site offers timely, relevant, and comparable school, district, and state data that must be reported under the No Child Left Behind Act.

a"Information is power," the Secretary declared. "The data will help advance a national debate about the performance of our educational system. It can no longer be hidden in the shadows."

The web site, created by Standard & Poors, contains interactive analytical tools from S&P's School Evaluation Services and the National Center for Educational Accountability's Just for the Kids.

Six states are already online. By summer 2004, most states should be available.
