ESSA regulations

ESSA, the Every Student Succeeds Act, is a federal law that guides how U.S. states ensure all students are learning and achieving. It replaced the No Child Left Behind Act and provides states with more authority to set education standards, measure student progress, and support underperforming schools. ESSA emphasizes accountability, equal opportunity, and flexibility for states and districts to develop tailored strategies to improve student outcomes across diverse communities. It aims to ensure a high-quality education for all students while allowing local educators to implement effective practices suited to their students' needs.
