IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 9, 2010 
Mr. PAYNE (for himself and Mr. CARNAHAN) introduced the following bill; 
which was referred to the Committee on Education and Labor 
A BILL 
To build capacity and provide support at the leadership 
level for successful school turnaround efforts. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Lead Act’’.

ity is second only to teacher quality among school- 
related factors in the factors’ impact on student 
learning.

(2) Research shows that nearly 60 percent of a 
school’s impact on student achievement is attrib-
utable to teacher and principal effectiveness, with 25 
percent being attributable directly to the principal. 
(3) As of May of 2010, there are 3,419 schools 
implementing restructuring under section 1116(b)(8) 
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
1965 (20 U.S.C. 6316(b)(8)). 
(4) Research shows that only 2,000 high 
schools, 12 percent of all high schools, produce one- 
half of the Nation’s high school dropouts. In order 
to turn those schools around, the United States will 
need effective principals in those schools. 
(5) Developing an effective method and delivery 
system for training and supporting effective prin-
cipals in these schools is essential to the success of 
the students and the economy of the United States. 
SEC. 3. PURPOSE. 
The purposes of this Act are— 
(1) to build the capacity and increase the sup-
ply of effective principals and other school leaders to 
successfully lead school transformation and turn-
around efforts;
