4.Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is the name of the 2015 legislation that revised and reauthorized the federal K-12 education law known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Prior to passage of ESSA, the law was referred to by the moniker No Child Left Behind. ESSA/ESEA is the source of most federal K-12 education initiatives, such as Title I schools, accountability for student achievement, programs for English language learners, math-science partnerships, and Title II professional development. Approximately $21 billion in federal funds under ESEA is distributed to the states and school districts each year through complex formulas based on student population and poverty and through individual grant programs. And for the first time, ESSA/ESEA also includes several provisions, taken from the TALENT Act, that support gifted and talented students. - See more at: http://www.nagc.org/get-involved/advocate-high-ability-learners/nagc-advocacy/f ederal-legislative-update/every-student
