Summary

Rather than continuing to authorize individual programs that support a well-rounded education, ESSA creates a block grant that provides formula funding to states and districts. Districts that receive funds under this block grant must spend at least 20 percent of their allocation on a well-rounded academic activity and 20 percent on an activity that supports safe and healthy students, and they may use some funds to expand the use of technology. This means that, although discrete funding streams will no longer be available to support programs such as physical education, district leaders can allocate funds from the block grant according to their schools' needs, without the hassle of applying for a myriad of grants to support various activities.

Join ASCD's Government Relations team in an engaging webinar around meeting students' well-rounded needs under ESSA. This discussion will provide information on how states are required to show how they are improving conditions for learning, including reducing bullying and harassment and addressing behavioral interventions that compromise student health and safety. You will also learn about

  • The programs that were consolidated and how their activities will still be supported;
  • The needs assessment districts must make to determine spending priorities; and
  • The percentages of funds districts must use on specific program areas like counseling and technology.

Stay informed on the implementation of ESSA and action opportunities.
