STORM LAKE, Iowa -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged Tuesday to give public schools the resources they need to properly educate children.

Clinton, addressing teachers and education advocates in this northern Iowa town, also criticized President Bush's "No Child Left Behind" education initiative, one widely scorned by teachers who argue it doesn't provide schools the money needed to meet federal standards.

"I'm not sure we've given you the tools and support you need," Clinton told the crowd. "Everything else has changed."

The New York senator trumpeted her proposal to offer $10 billion over the next decade to improve public schools.

Clinton spoke at a summer conference of the Iowa State Education Association, a union representing 32,000 teachers and one of the most potent political forces in Iowa.
