It's official according to Politics K-12 at Edweekcom:

Delaware has filed a Notice of Intent that signifies the state's desire to apply for the NCLB waiver. Yesterday was the deadline for applicants to file a courtesy notification with US DOE.
Delaware joins 38 other applicants in providing notification. Of note - our state indicates that it intends to file for the waiver in mid-February. It should be noted that a state can change it's mind and decide not to apply for the waiver. It should also be noted that Delaware could have opted to apply for the Waiver this coming November, but for whatever reason, opted to wait until February 2012.
However, this is the burning question - If the time is now, if the time was yesterday, if we are Racing to the Top, and seeking Innovation that must be immediate - if our PZ schools have only TWO YEARS to turnaround their achievement and find proficiency - WHY IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD DEDOE APPLY FOR THIS WAIVER?
