WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: U.S. Education Secretary Addresses State Board of Education & Others
Member Center:
President George W. Bush's top adviser on education is in the Capital city today. The trip comes as city and state leaders wrestle with a slew of education issues.
U.S. Education secretary Margaret Spellings Thursday morning addressed the State Board of Education at its North West Street offices, then she took part in a roundtable discussion with Governor Haley Barbour, State Education Chief Hank Bounds and others.
The federal government's "no child left behind" program is up for re-authorization.
Dr. Spellings is visiting various states to get ideas on fine-tuning the initiative.
We will have more on her visit at five and six.
