Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)

Laws and Regulations

The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), enacted in 1965, is the nation's national education law and shows a longstanding commitment to equal opportunity for all students.

ESEA authorizes state-run programs for eligible schools and districts eager to raise the academic achievement of struggling learners and address the complex challenges that arise for students who live with disability, mobility problems, learning difficulties, poverty, or transience, or who need to learn English.

We receive ESEA federal grant funding under:

Title I, Part A - Title I, Part A is a federal program designed “To provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” 

Title II Part A

Title III 

and Title IV.

We operate all high schools in our district as SCHOOL-WIDE Title I schools.
