9th Cir.
08-16661
The court of appeals affirmed a district court judgment and remanded the action. The court held that after the passage of Section 163 of the Continuing Appropriations and Surface Transportation Extensions Act, and so long as it remains in effect, the federal regulation expanding the meaning of highly qualified teacher to include an alternative-route teacher who merely demonstrates satisfactory progress toward full state certification is consistent with the No Child Left Behind Act.
