Transition to ESSA
ESSA Tools for LEAs
ESSA offers LEAs greater flexibility for using federal funds to effectively implement comprehensive, districtwide research-based initiatives that maximize student academic outcomes, particularly for those students at risk of not meeting challenging state academic assessment standards.
ESSA renews the U.S. Department of Education’s emphasis on comprehensive needs assessments and improvement planning. The new regulations increase LEAs’ responsibilities for monitoring student outcomes, coordinated use of federal funds, and for offering high-quality guidance and technical assistance to schools engaged in continuous improvement planning.
ESSA Private School Equitable Services
ESSA includes requirements for the monitoring and enforcement of equitable services to private nonprofit schools (PNPs). Refer to the ESSA Private School Equitable Services page of the 91Èȱ¬ website for details on those requirements, as well as contact information for the designated 91Èȱ¬ PNP ombudsman, contact person, and private school services state coordinator.
°Õ³ó±ðÌýESSA Private School Equitable Services page of the 91Èȱ¬ website also includes links to the Affirmation of Consultation form that districts and eligible private nonprofit schools (PNPs) must collaborate to complete. Instructions for completing and submitting the form are also linked on that page, in addition to the sections of ESSA that specify the PNP consultation requirement.
