The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA)

Ask the Senate to give all students a fair shot
Right now, the Senate is working on a reauthorization bill for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the cornerstone education law in America.
We believe the new ESEA must focus on opportunity for all, ensure more time for students to learn, and empower educators to lead.
