In both incarnations--as NCLB and ESSA--key federal laws have been framed as an effort to strengthen schools and close opportunity gaps, yet they have constrained state and local officials, produced a host of unintended consequences, and largely failed to realize its aims.

This report seeks to outline what a more effective and equitable approach to assessment of student learning and accountability for schools and districts might look like., report aurthored by Ashley Carey [and four others]., "Spring 2023.", Includes bibliographical references, (page 9)., Includes bibliographical references (pages 23-28), Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed May 2023)

The current El Niño event is very strong, and is expected to affect weather around the globe, and in Colorado, through next spring. The impacts of El Niño are more complex over Colorado than other parts of the West. Strong El Niño conditions improve the odds for wetter-than-normal conditions in most parts of Colorado, especially in fall and spring. However, strong El Niño conditions also tend to bring dry mid-winters to our North-Central mountains., "Released October 23, 2015.", Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 2020)

For the emergency management community, the incredible events of September 11, 2001, and their many outcomes have led to changes so extensive they are hard to document. A gross indication of the impacts of these changes is evidenced simply by counting the important legislative and bureaucratic changes that have occurred since September 11, 2001. Along with new threats have come new resources, and those resources have new requirements connected to them. Additionally, new intergovernmental and inter-organizational relationships are necessary to achieve greater safety and security for U.S. citizens., "May 2004.", Includes bibliographical references., Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover; (viewed May 2014)
