ESSA Federal Programs / Title I, Part A; Title II, Part A; Title IV, Part A

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Overview

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015 and amends the 50 year old Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

Some highlights of ESSA:

Advances equity by upholding critical protections for high-need students
Enhanced expectations for college and career preparation
Ensures that statewide assessments provide information to educators, students, families and communities
Increases access to high-quality preschool
Maintains accountability expectations for low-performing schools
Supports evidence-based interventions

ESSA became effective on July 1, 2017.

ESC Region 16 provides technical assistance in regard to ESSA program information and requirements, assistance to districts in maintaining compliance with federal program requirements, and professional development for more effective utilization of federal resources to ensure greater student achievement.
