VDOE assists schools and school divisions in administering programs authorized by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) – the most recent reauthorization of which is also known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
ESEA requires states to set annual objectives for increasing student achievement with the goal of ensuring that all children have an opportunity to obtain a high-quality education. Schools, school divisions and states that meet these objectives make what the law refers to as “Adequate Yearly Progress.”
Each of the ten titles or chapters of the law pertain to a different set of programs where federal funding is authorized for improving public education and achieving the objectives of the law.
