The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and signed into law on December 10, 2015. Though NCLB will remain in effect for the remainder of the 2015-2016 school year, states will transition to ESSA in the 2016-2017 school year with full implementation of ESSA in the 2017-2018 school year.  This web page will be updated as more guidance from the US Department of Education and the Texas Education Agency is released.
