ESSA, which passed Congress with bipartisan support and was signed into law by President Obama on Dec. 10, 2015, replaced the No Child Left Behind Act. It has shifted broad authority from the federal government to state and local agencies, providing them with greater flexibility and decision-making power. Ohio’s state plan, which is required by ESSA, will be submitted to the federal government in 2017 and will address topics such as standards, assessments, accountability and assistance for struggling schools.
This regional conversation is one of a series of conversations Philanthropy Ohio and its members, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education, are convening across the state.
Join us for this important conversation, a tremendous opportunity for us to collectively discuss ESSA and how it will impact our students, educators and families in Ohio. Register and share this invitation with colleagues and friends.
