      • Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

        The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015, and represents good news for our nation’s schools. This bipartisan measure reauthorizes the 50-year-old Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the nation’s national education law and longstanding commitment to equal opportunity for all students.

        ESSA includes provisions that will help to ensure success for students and schools. Below are just a few. The law:

        • Advances equity by upholding critical protections for America's disadvantaged and high-need students.
        • Requires—for the first time—that all students in America be taught to high academic standards that will prepare them to succeed in college and careers.
        • Ensures that vital information is provided to educators, families, students, and communities through annual statewide assessments that measure students' progress toward those high standards.
        • Helps to support and grow local innovations—including evidence-based and place-based interventions developed by local leaders and educators—consistent with our Investing in Innovation and Promise Neighborhoods.
        • Sustains and expands this administration's historic investments in increasing access to high-quality preschool.
        • Maintains an expectation that there will be accountability and action to effect positive change in our lowest-performing schools, where groups of students are not making progress, and where graduation rates are low over extended periods of time.

      • U.S. Department of Education

        ED's mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.

        ED was created in 1980 by combining offices from several federal agencies. ED's 4,400 employees and $68 billion budget are dedicated to:

        • Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education, and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.
        • Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research.
        • Focusing national attention on key educational issues.
        • Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education.

      • Virginia Department of Education

        The mission of Virginia's public education system is to educate students in the fundamental knowledge and academic subjects that they need to become capable, responsible, and self-reliant citizens. Therefore, the mission of the Virginia Board of Education and the superintendent of public instruction, in cooperation with local school boards, is to increase student learning and academic achievement. 

        Virginia state government agencies – including VDOE – develop and implement Strategic Plans for the agency, relevant programs and service areas and identify Performance Measures to track progress in achieving the strategic plan objectives. Specific information regarding VDOE’s budget, performance measures, objectives and how progress is being made against those measures is available through Virginia Performs’ VDOE reports.

        Superintendent of Public Instruction – Steven R. Staples

        Dr. Staples serves as the executive officer of the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), which is the administrative agency for the commonwealth's public schools. He also serves as secretary of the Board of Education. Visit the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

        Virginia Board of Education

        The Board of Education is the governing and policy-making body for the Virginia system of public elementary and secondary education. Its work touches all facets of education from accountability and evaluation to curriculum and teacher education. More about the Board of Education.
