11. After two years of extensive consultation with child-serving and community leaders in every sector, CDF's Action Council developed a long-term policy vision to truly Leave No Child Behind¨. Endorsed by more than 1,800 national, state, and local organizations, as well as hundreds of public officials, the comprehensive Dodd-Miller Act to Leave No Child Behind (S. 448/H.R. 936) was introduced in Congress in 2001. (It is not to be confused with the Bush Administration's single-issue No Child Left Behind Education Act.) Some of the provisions of Leave No Child Behind, such as the child tax credit, have been enacted. For more information, see the CDF Web site at http://www.childrensdefense.org/ theact/default.asp.
