In late October 2008, the U.S. Department of Education released final No Child Left Behind regulations. New regulations require states keep track of students from when they enter high school until they receive a regular diploma, counting as non-graduates any students who leave school before that time. The regulations also require states to report graduation rates by race to ensure that black and Latino students, who have higher dropout rates than whites, get the special services they need. Another new regulation requires schools to provide parents with more information about supplemental services required under NCLB and available for students with special academic needs. Parents must be told what tutoring providers are available, how these providers are approved and monitored, and how effective they are in helping students improve. Finally, parents must receive timely information about choices they have in where they can enroll their child in a public school.
