On December 10, 2015, President Obama signed the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). The ESSA builds upon the critical work States and local educational agencies (LEAs) have implemented over the last few years. The reauthorized law sets high standards and contains policies that will help prepare all students for success in college and future careers. It prioritizes excellence and equity and recognizes the importance of supporting great educators in our nation's schools. 

Schools receiving federal funds are responsible for creating a plan to improve basic programs, ensure migratory children are being effectively educated, meet the needs of neglected/delinquent/at-risk students, support effective instruction, support English Language Learners, provide student support and academic enrichment, enrich 21st Century learning, support rural and low-income school programs, and ensure homeless children and youth are provided educational opportunities.
