The ESEA was initially enacted in 1965 (P.L. 89-10), and was most recently comprehensively amended and reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA; P.L. 114-95). \nUnder Title I-A, the ESEA as amended by the ESSA continues to require states and public schools systems to focus on educational accountability as a condition for the receipt of grant funds. Public school systems and individual public schools are held accountable for monitoring and improving achievement outcomes for students and closing achievement gaps, sustaining a focus that was initiated by amendments to the ESEA made by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB; P.L. 107-110) but modified under the ESSA. While states were given more latitude to develop their accountability systems under the ESSA provisions, as a condition of receiving Title I-A funds each state must continue to have content and academic achievement standards and aligned assessments in reading/language arts (RLA), mathematics, and science for specific grade levels. States must now have an accountability system that incorporates (1) long-term and interim performance goals for specified measures; (2) weighted indicators based, in part, on these goals; and (3) an annual system for meaningful differentiation that is used to identify schools that need additional support to improve student achievement.\nBeyond Title I-A, other ESEA programs provide grants and contracts for a variety of educational purposes. ESEA programs and general provisions are included in eight titles, which collectively received appropriations of $25.2 billion in FY2019. The ESEA\u2019s titles are as follows:\nTitle I: Programs for disadvantaged students, student assessment, migratory students, and neglected and delinquent students.\nTitle II: Programs for teachers, principals, and school leaders; literacy; and American history and civics education.\nTitle III: Programs to support English language acquisition for English learners.\nTitle IV: Programs to support a well-rounded education, safe and healthy students, and technology; after-school instruction and care; charter schools; magnet schools; family engagement in education; and various national activities.\nTitle V: Programs to support rural education.\nTitle VI: Programs for Indian education, Native Hawaiian education, and Alaska Native education.\nTitle VII: Impact Aid programs.\nTitle VIII: General provisions.\nThis report provides an overview of major provisions of the ESEA. It also includes a table showing annual appropriations for ESEA programs for FY2017 through FY2019, as well as a table showing the transition in authorized programs and related appropriations from FY2016, when NCLB provisions were still in effect, to FY2017, when ESSA provisions took effect. Finally, a table detailing authorizations of appropriations under current law is also included. The ESSA authorized appropriations for ESEA programs through FY2020.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/R45977", "sha1": "2121614bab791c85027117f06b22eb5305dcd831", "filename": "files/20191017_R45977_2121614bab791c85027117f06b22eb5305dcd831.html", "images": {} }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "https://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/R45977", "sha1": "123dd67ba51a307bdb35cf4acc01b8100a67b3a7", "filename": "files/20191017_R45977_123dd67ba51a307bdb35cf4acc01b8100a67b3a7.pdf", "images": {} } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [ "Education Policy" ] }
