No Child Left Behind Act

What the President said . . .
"Some want to undermine the No Child Left Behind Act by weakening standards and accountability. . . .I refuse to give up on any child. And the No Child Left Behind Act is opening the door of opportunity to all of America's children."

What this means for people with diabetes. . .
The Association does not support or oppose the No Child Left Behind Act as a whole, but we are concerned that in its implementation the Act has unintentionally hurt some children with diabetes.

As it is now, many schools use the Drug Free School Zone requirements under the Act to prohibit students with diabetes from keeping their insulin and insulin delivery systems with them during the school day. Legislation is currently pending in the House of Representatives (HR 3178) that will amend the Act so that schools that receive Drug Free School Grants may not implement policies that keep children with diabetes from their diabetes supplies. You can take action on this legislation today.
