The Senate has passed a bipartisan rewrite of the long-expired No Child Left Behind Act by a vote of 85-12, assuring that a major rollback of federal power in K-12 education will become law.

The House passed the bill last week. It now heads to President Barack Obama, and the White House has said he will sign the bill.

The bill, the Every Student Succeeds Act, would retain some mandates of the unpopular George W. Bush-era law, such as annual testing of students in reading and math in grades three through eight. But much of the law, which represented a high watermark for federal control over education, will be revamped to return more decision-making authority to states and school districts.
