- CLE co-director Paul Weckstein sets forth the rationale for and the legal bases of every child’s right to quality education, including under Title I/NCLB and civil rights statutes. Weckstein identifies three related risks for mobile students in the implementation of NCLB: (1) “in determining schools’ academic progress, some mobile students may not be…assessed or counted, reducing the likelihood that their academic needs will get attention;” (2) “some practices that schools might pursue to avoid accountability for lower achieving students may promote student mobility;” and (3) family mobility may make it harder for students and their families to access the required program elements.”
