I'm sure there will be more of this

Reading School District's goal in suing the Pennsylvania Department of Education over the federal education law is to protect its schools from what the district believes are unfair sanctions.

Like many other school districts, Reading filed an appeal after the state singled out 13 of its 19 elementary, middle and high schools for not meeting standards the state set in the act.

Seven of Reading's schools were placed on a "warning" list, and six were placed on the more serious "school improvement" list, which requires the district to offer transfers to better-performing schools.
