WASHINGTON (AP) — The focus is on the Senate as lawmakers consider a rewrite of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law, a day after the House narrowly passed a Republican-led measure that dramatically lessens the federal role in education policy for the nation’s public schools.

First District Congressman Tim Huelskamp voted No. Representatives Jenkins, Pompeo and Yoder voted Yes.

The House bill gives states and local school districts more control over assessing the performance of schools, teachers and their students. It also prohibits the federal government from requiring or encouraging specific sets of academic standards, such as Common Core, and allows federal money to follow low-income children to public schools of their choice.

No Democrats supported the House measure, and 27 Republicans voted against it.

The Senate bill is more moderate but also would whittle away the federal government’s involvement in public schools.
