Every Student Succeeds

  • Elementary and Secondary Education Act
    The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is a United States federal statute originally enacted in 1965. These federal funds are authorized for professional development, instructional materials, resources to support educational programs, and parental involvement programs. The current reauthorization of ESEA is the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015.

    Title I, Part C

    Title II, Part A provides supplemental funding to improve student achievement. The funds are used to elevate teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies, and to increase the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools. The program uses scientifically based professional development interventions and holds districts and schools accountable for improvement in student academic performance.
