State education officials released testing results showing that more schools and more school districts may face sanctions under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

The results showed that 44-percent of elementary and middle school children did not make adequate yearly progress, or AYP, based on reading and math tests for grades three through eight.

New Hampshire Public Radio's Amy Quinton talked to Education Commissioner Lyonel Tracy who had a different take on the poor results.
