HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is asking a federal appeals court to block the federal government from imposing unreimbursed costs for the No Child Left Behind Act.
Last month, a federal judge in New Haven dismissed the last of four claims in Connecticut's challenge that the law is unconstitutional.
Blumenthal is asking the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to uphold a provision of the NCLB Act that bars the federal government from imposing unreimbursed costs on towns and cities.
The appeal seeks to recover hundreds of millions of dollars.
The 2002 law requires annual standardized tests for students in grades three through eight. States must correct problems in school districts that fall short.
