Incredibly, within a week of the ruling and with three weeks remaining on the deadline for filing an appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the Reading School District filed a new complaint in Commonwealth Court challenging No Child Left Behind.

"Without any assistance from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the Reading School District has no resources to implement any plan to improve student performance." It claimed that the state Department of Education had "failed to provide adequate technical assistance, including direct financial assistance"; nor did the state provide a standardized test in Spanish to allow for mandated subgroup testing.

Though the first suit, which cited NCLB's prohibitions against imposing mandates that aren't funded, does not put a dollar figure on those mandates, outside of court, Rick Guida, the district's lawyer, claimed that "for the Reading School District to comply (with NCLB) we'd have to double or quadruple our budget." That, if the hyperbole were taken at face value, suggested that the district needed anywhere from an extra $250 million to more than $500 million just to comply with the federal law.

In fact, Reading School District superintendent Melissa Jamula, the daughter of a former Reading police captain, is by all accounts a powerful advocate for the district with the local business community and local and state government leaders.

In an e-mail alert last year announcing community meetings about the school district's problems, the superintendent wrote: "The Reading School District is facing a financial crisis that could threaten the ability to keep out schools open the entirety of next year.

While Melissa Jamula argues that "People who say money doesn't make a difference have never spent a day in the Reading School District," those who do spend some time reviewing the district's finances would agree with Jamula--but perhaps come to a very different conclusion about the cause of the problem.

Three other districts received training to replicate the program for the 1998-99 school year, and the Reading school district is planning to develop a training center to meet the many other requests for training that we are receiving.
