he Education Secondary Education Act requires all states, including the State of Georgia, to establish state academic standards and a state testing system that meet federal requirements. It is built on four common-sense pillars: accountability for results; an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research; expanded parental options; and expanded local control and flexibility.
