On December 10, 2015, President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act into law. Since then, the US Department of Education (ED) and states have been working to get ready for the law–and there is a lot to do. ED is hosting negotiated rulemaking, and will be hustling to get final rules out in a timely manner. States are working with their districts to get ready to implement new accountability systems and to experiment with the law’s newly granted fiscal and program flexibility. With so much going on, wouldn’t it be great to have a cheat sheet on the coming months? Done. Take a look at our W/A ESSA implementation timeline. Want something clarified or added? Drop us a line
