ESSA- Every Student Succeeds Act
One Vision for Texas Education: TEA’s Path to Implementing ESSA
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) became law on December 10, 2015, replacing the No Child Left Behind Act. The new law increases flexibility and decision-making authority afforded states, encourages states and schools to be innovative, and holds states accountable for results. States will submit Consolidated State Plans articulating how they will use federal funds to advance their own goals and visions of success for their students. The primary focus of this legislation over the past 50 years has been to support our most at-risk students and ensure they receive an adequate level of education.
