Abstract	The top executive of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has announced that he will leave his post in 2006 at the end of the summer, giving the group time to plan a lobbying strategy for the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act with a new director. G. Thomas Houlihan, the CCSSO's executive director since 2001, said that he is resigning for personal reasons, and chose to do so now because the group is beginning the process of deciding what changes it will seek when Congress revisits the far-reaching law. Federal lawmakers are scheduled to reauthorize the 4-year-old measure in 2007, but most Washington observers expect action to be postponed for a year, or maybe two. In the five years since Mr. Houlihan took the reins of the Washington-based group, which represents state superintendents and commissioners of education, state schools chiefs have played arguably the most significant role in the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act. They have been responsible for expanding their testing systems to provide annual tests in grades 3-8 student proficiency; and creating policies to ensure teachers are "highly qualified." (ERIC).
