“I support this amendment very strongly. We believe it is very important to get good information about how these waivers are being used. We believe it is very important to get specific information, and not just accumulate a phone book, but get specific data, for instance, on how the Ed-Flex waivers are being used for the Eisenhower Program. And if a particular program is still keeping scores up and they are still using the waiver, but their science and math scores are maintaining as high or if not higher than the rest of the State, we want them to share that information with other States that are applying for the waiver. So we strongly support this language.”
