The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) replaces the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) and is the latest reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
Under the ESSA, all schools receiving Title I funds must inform parents of their right to ask schools about the professional qualifications of their child's teachers and paraprofessionals. Several schools within Ridgewood Public Schools receive Title I funding.
For more information on ESSA, and the role of parents, please visit the United States Department of Education's (USDE) website.
