    It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should--

        high-quality, well-rounded education that prepares them to 
        succeed in college and a career;
            (2) fix No Child Left Behind's accountability system while 
        continuing to focus on the success of all students;
            (3) provide States and districts the resources to turn 
        around our lowest performing schools;
            (4) collaborate with teachers to put in place systems to 
        measure teacher quality and supports to help teachers improve 
        student achievement; and
            (5) promote programs that encourage parent engagement, 
        community involvement, and youth development.
