Evolution of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) including some repairs to perceived NCLB problems A Few Words About the Every Student Succeeds Act SimilarDifferent States choose standards and assessmentsStates have far more authority Student achievement reported by subgroup and performance of subgroups used to hold schools and districts accountable Major Title I set-asides eliminated (say goodbye to AYP, HQT, SES…eventually) Funding flows from ED to states to districts to schools Far less control for ED Maintains major formula grant funding streams (and many competitive programs) Consolidates/eliminates a number of smaller grant programs Adapted from Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC Presentation available at:

The State Board of Education (SBE) and Superintendent of Public Instruction are submitting a waiver request to ED of Title I accountability requirements Request to suspend AYP, SES, and HQT requirements The California Department of Education is working to develop am integrated and coherent single accountability system Preparing for Changes

LCFF Every Student Succeeds Act Potential “Key Indicators” from LCFF Priorities Elementary and Middle School Indicators High School Indicators Pupil achievement (Priority 4) Student achievement scores (English language arts and mathematics; all relevant grade spans) Academic Achievement English language arts and mathematics in grades 3 through 8, inclusive Academic Achievement English language arts and mathematics assessed one time in grades 9 through 12 Pupil achievement (Priority 4) Percentage of English learners (ELs) making progress toward English proficiency English Proficiency Progress ELs in achieving English proficiency English Proficiency Progress of EL in achieving English proficiency Pupil engagement (Priority 5) High school graduation rate TBD (Priority will vary based on indicator selected) Other K-8 Additional Academic Another Academic Indicator Other academic factor that can be broken out by subgroup Another Academic Indicator 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (states can add extended rate) TBD (Priority will vary based on indicator selected)  At least one other indicator At Least One Other Indicator Additional indicator (e.g., student engagement and school climate/safety) At Least One Other Indicator Additional indicator (e.g., opportunity to learn and college/career readiness) Aligning ESSA to LCFF [1] [1] ESSA requires states to administer an assessment for science at least once each during grades 3-5, grades 6-9, and grades 10-12, see 20 USC 6311(b)(2)(B)(v)(II), as amended by ESSA, Section 1005, but does not require that states use the results of these assessments for purposes of identifying schools for support and assistance, see 20 USC 6311(c)(4)(B), as amended by ESSA, Section The Academic Performance Index currently includes scores for science and history-social science, in addition to English language arts and mathematics, but with minimal weight given to science and history-social science relative to the other two subjects. See, e.g., California Department of Education, Executive Summary Explaining the Academic Performance Index (API), available at
