federal education legislation

Federal education legislation refers to laws enacted by the U.S. government that govern public education, impacting funding, standards, and access to education. Key legislation includes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which aims to ensure equal educational opportunities, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates special education services for students with disabilities. These laws seek to improve educational outcomes, reduce disparities, and promote accountability among schools, ultimately shaping the educational landscape and supporting diverse student needs across the country.
