Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA) / Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was signed into law in 1965, with the goal of improving educational equity for students by providing federal funds to school districts serving students experiencing poverty. ESEA is the single largest source of federal spending on elementary and secondary education, and was reauthorized in 2015 as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
