&lt;a href="http://democrats.edworkforce.house.gov/issue/elementary-and-secondary-education-act"&gt;Background on H.R. 3989 and H.R. 3990&lt;/a&gt;
H.R. 3989:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final Passage on a vote of 23-16&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/sites/democrats.edworkforce.house.gov/files/documents/112/pdf/Amendments/DemocraticAmendmentHR3989.pdf"&gt;Amendment offered by Mr. Miller &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/sites/democrats.edworkforce.house.gov/files/documents/112/pdf/Amendments/DemocraticAmendmentHR3989-Summary.pdf"&gt;Summary of Amendment&lt;/a&gt;:The Democratic substitute to H.R. 3989 eliminates inflexible and outdated provisions of NCLB and requiring states and LEA’s to adopt strong but flexible and achievable standards, assessments, and accountability reforms that ensure all students graduate high school prepared for college and the workforce.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Defeated on a vote of 16-23&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/sites/democrats.edworkforce.house.gov/files/documents/112/pdf/Amendments/DemocraticAmendmentHR3990-Summary.pdf"&gt;Summary of Amendment&lt;/a&gt;: The Democratic substitute amendment to HR. 3990 ensures that there are effective and supported teachers in every classroom; that students have access to a well-rounded education; and that students have the non-academic supports they need to come to class ready to learn and achieve.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Defeated on a vote of 16-23&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
