The new version of the draft state plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is now available online. The public has the opportunity to comment on the plan and can send comments to Lou Fabrizio at Lou.fabrizio@dpi.nc.gov or Donna Brown at Donna.brown@dpi.nc.gov.
ESSA is a re-authorization of the 1965 Elementary and Second Education Act. It was passed in December 2015 to replace No Child Left Behind. States have to comply with the plan through a state-developed ESSA plan that will include things such as school accountability, support for low-performing schools, and more.
