	This brief examines how No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
	dollars flow from the federal government through states
	and districts and into the coffers of companies, mostly
	for-profit companies. The brief makes the case that the
	law enriches many private companies and individuals,
	especially those close to President George W. Bush and
	his family. The brief describes the essential workings of
	NCLB, highlighting inherent costs of the law and costs
	that come with each successive year of failing to make
	Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The brief emphasizes the
	sanctions applied after two consecutive years of failure
	(the requirement that all students be offered the
	opportunity to transfer to another school) and after
	three consecutive years (the requirement that districts
	must hire outside tutors, mostly for-profit companies, to
	provide Supplementary Educational Services). It
	summarizes the known and potential-but-unknown quantities
	of money that flows through the states and districts
	under NCLB. The final destination of these large sums of
	money is unknown, as is whether these funds are being
	spent on effective services. The brief closes by calling
	on the U.S. Department of Education to establish policies
	and procedures to account for the money and to hold
	private companies to the same standards of accountability
	which it demands of public schools. (Contains 3 tables.)
