The long-term offer underscores the intensive work states have already undertaken on school reforms in exchange for flexibility from Washington, as well as a dour outlook that Congress will take action to update No Child Left Behindâs outdated goals. The law expired in 2007 and included goals now seen as overly ambitious. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)
