System Support for Leadership, Accountability And Continuous Improvement

AGENDA

EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to create a long-term, stable federal policy that gives states additional flexibility and encourages innovation, while at the same time holding us accountable for results

Secretary John B. King Jr. “One, by committing states to high standards for all students to make sure that all students graduate ready for college and careers, and two, ensuring strong state systems of accountability with meaningful flexibility, but clear civil rights guardrails. Three, maintaining the commitment that Title I resources [for disadvantaged students] will go to the highest-needs students and help the highest-needs students to be successful. And four, the commitment to preschool and the commitment to innovation, which have both been priorities for the administration from the start.”

ESSA Gives states, school districts, teachers and parents more flexibility in meeting the needs of their schools/students. Maintains federal oversight of state plans regarding the use of federal funds but restricts state actions and control.
