Connecticut has become the first state to challenge the No Child Left Behind Act in court. Connecticut’s Attorney General Richard Blumenthal filed the suit on Monday. It argues that Connecticut is not being adequately reimbursed for the cost of expanding to annual testing. Connecticut tests children in fourth, sixth, eighth and 10th grades. The No Child Left Behind Act requires testing in grades three through eight. The law specifically bars the federal government from imposing mandates without financing them. .
