Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

ESSA is a reauthorization of federal education law, replacing the prior reauthorization known as No Child Left Behind. It was implemented in school year 2017-18. The Hawai‘i DOE's state ESSA plan for federal funding under the law, led by our Strategic Plan, was approved by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) in January 2018.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Law requires all teachers meet state certification or licensing requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned.
