was passed in 1965 as a part of the "War on Poverty." ESEA emphasizes equal access to education and establishes high standards and accountability. The law authorizes federally funded education programs that are administered by the states. In 2002, Congress amended ESEA and reauthorized it as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
Consolidated Program Review (CPR) is a compliance review required under federal regulations. The CPR team at OSPI monitors all federally funded ESEA programs in Washington state.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a required statewide accountability system which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts make AYP.
OSPI recently sent to the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee recommendations for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The proposed changes (PDF) represent OSPI's commitment to advancing essential education reforms.
