HARTFORD, Conn. -- The state Department of Education on Friday identified 145 schools that were not making enough progress meeting the federal No Child Left Behind law.

The law aims to make all children in public schools proficient in reading and math by 2014. All students, including poor, minority and special-education students, must show progress in improving standardized test scores.

Schools that appear on the list for one year don't face immediate penalties. The federal government simply says they aren't making adequate yearly progress, or AYP, and are warned that they should improve.

Schools listed for two or more consecutive years are labeled "in need of improvement," and can be required to make a variety of changes, including offering student transfer opportunities and extra tutoring, as well as drafting an improvement plan, if they receive federal money.
