i know senator harkin would have agreed with federal accountability. a bill that will include the broader senate, the broader congress, stakeholders and those interested in better instruction and a more prepared work force moving forward so action can be taken instead of just wasted debate. but again, this is another step in that process, and we will be further informed as more voices are involved. with that said i'll continue to support a lessened federal role in school and greater transparency to parents through reporting on their child's performance. we need to place more emphasis on seeing that each child is getting the education we promised. i was disappointed it moved in the opposite direction, so i'll work with my colleagues to improve this plan to move it to the president's desk. thank you mr. chairman for working with me on this hearing and looking forward to continuing the substantive policy discussion from last month's markup. >> thank you very much. now, let me take a moment to introduce each of the participants. i know some senators like t

>> thank you, senator harkin. as i understand the bill as it's written today, the bill doesn't just address the 5% of the lowest performing schools or the schools that have the largest achievement gap. it also gives states the option of identifying additional low performing schools in their states. and i think that states are to be commended. now whether or not we get into a debate about whether or not some states are different than the other, i happen to believe that states ought to have some flexibility in that arena, as i also believe local school districts should. when our state told us last year that we had four low performing high schools, that they labeled drop-out factories, well, quite frankly we had three or four other high schools that had -- we had some input, we may have decided perhaps needed more attention than two of the ones on the list. they were identified by one narrow definer. and so how you intertwine all that local flexibility and the state flexibility i think is important. it's often more d
