How would you effectively translate "No Child Left Behind Act" when translating documents for the school system?

Question

I'm translating documents from English to Spanish for our local county school system. The No Child Left Behind Act comes up in a lot of these forms and documents. Until now, I've just been putting la Ley "No Child Left Behind", and treating it like a proper noun. I hate doing that and would like to at least translate it in parenthesis, so parents will know what the act is dealing with. Can you help?

Answer 1

I have my own opinions about NCLB, but I'll keep them to myself.

It's the name of the act, and names don't generally get translated. If you translate it people probably won't recognize it. Personally, I'd leave it alone.

Answer 2

I would recommend searching first before asking. The U.S. Dept of Education has translated their own materials, and there is a title for the law in Spanish:

Que Ningún Niño Se Quede Atrás
