Boycotting NCLB: In Effort To Protect Students Illinois District Will Refuse Test

A DuPage County school district could be the first in Illinois -- and perhaps the nation -- to refuse to administer mandatory state exams to students who haven't yet mastered English.

The boycott by Carol Stream Elementary District 93 would be an act of civil disobedience against the state's decision to force English learners to take the same tests as their fluent peers.

Nearly 10 percent of the district's 4,300 students were categorized as having limited English skills in 2007.
