I found a couple of quotes that may meet your needs, though they don't
specifically state anything about promotion or graduation:
"States are to identify for improvement any Title I school that does
not meet the State's definition of adequate yearly progress for two
consecutive years. However, it is important to underscore the
flexibility granted by the statute to State and local educational
agencies to direct resources and tailor interventions to the needs of
individual schools. For example, the statute gives States and LEAs
flexibility in how they can direct Title I school improvement funds to
schools that need the most improvement. It also provides a list of
consequences under "school improvement," "corrective action" and
"restructuring" that allow States to take a range of actions. For
example, under "corrective action" the options range from more limited
consequences such as hiring an outside expert to advise a school on
how to make adequate yearly progress, to more significant measures
such as replacing school staff or restructuring the internal
organization of a school"
U.S. Secretary Rod Paige Explains "Adequate Yearly Progress" under the
new No Child Left Behind Act and How it Will Affect States and Schools

"It has consequences for failure through requiring schools that fail
to meet AYP for two or more years to provide other options for parents
and students. In other words, this law has punch and colleges of
education as well as school districts will feel this punch. When
President Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law on January
8, he ushered in a new way of during business in American Education.
He brought to the public a new demand."
