Thanks for joining the web chat today and for your interest in Helping America's Youth. This Thursday, October 27, I will host the White House Conference on Helping America's Youth at Howard University, here in Washington, DC. I think this will be a terrific conference and will bring together educators, faith-based and community leaders, researchers, students and parents who will share stories of programs and methods that are working to make a positive difference in the lives of children.

Thanks for the opportunity to answer your questions today. On Wednesday, the Nation's Report Card was released, showing steady growth and gains by America's schoolchildren. The results, from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2005 exam of fourth- and eighth-graders in reading and math, show that real progress is being made in helping to ensure the promise of No Child Left Behind.
