The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is a federal statute originally enacted in 1965.  These federal funds are authorized for professional development, instructional materials, resources to support education programs, and parental involvement programs.  While the current reauthorization of ESEA is the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Congress recently passed the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which was signed into law by President Obama on December 20, 2015, and will go into effect July 1, 2017.
