President Obama is looking to overhaul the "No Child Left Behind" law.

"They're still going to require accountability from schools and school buildings whether you're high achieving or the bottom ten percent," Martin Ackley of the Michigan Department of Education said.

Monday,,, the President sent his Blueprint for Reform to Congress. In it, there are several changes, but a big one affects school districts that receive federal Title I dollars.

"Secretary Duncan said if you don't move the ball for three straight years, and don't close the achievement gap, then you could be at risk of losing control of Title I dollars," Ackley said.

In other words districts that don't show improvement in student and teacher performance, won't lose that federal money, but they'll lose control of how to spend it.

"In Michigan that's nearly $500 million statewide," Ackley said.

The Lansing School District is a K-12 Title I district, and gets nearly $15 million federal dollars because of it. So we asked them, would new rules change the way they do business?

"Oversight has always been here in Lansing," Julie Lemond, the chief academic officer for the Lansing School District said.

Lemond said the district has received Title I dollars for several years. As things stand now, those millions of dollars go toward several things.

"It could be staffing, it could be programming, it could be resources or supplemental staff," Lemond said.

Lemond actually welcomes the President's reforms. She said the three-year bench mark gives flexibility to schools districts and is plenty of time for them to prove they have the right programs in place.

"If we can not show improvement in three years, not show gains," Lemond said, "we as administrators should request assistance from others so that students win in the long run."

If school districts don't show improvement, each state's department of education would decide how and where to spend those title one dollars.

Congress just received the draft of President Obama's ideas on how to change "No Child Left Behind."

Lawmakers would have to vote on this before changes could be implemented.
