Wha What is Ev is Every Student ery Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)? Succeeds Act (ESSA)?

• Title I originated as part of the federally regulated

Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), a law that funds elementary and secondary education.

Administration in 1965 as part of the “War on Poverty” agenda.

• ESEA was reauthorized in 2001 and renamed the No

Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was enacted on December 10,

leaders to move beyond NCLB requirements and support state efforts to prepare every child for college and career.
