Over the last few weeks, key members of the Senate and House - including Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., who chairs the House education committee, and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio - have come out in support of maintaining annual testing requirements. The American Federation of Teachers, the nation's second-largest teachers union, also has said the federal requirement should stay in place. With the debate over testing nearly settled, the next target for compromise is the federal role and how much say the Department of Education should have in state accountability systems.
