The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides states, districts and schools greater flexibility to use Title I funds to support school improvement, but states have a mandate to ensure that low-performing schools are identified and receive additional supports to accelerate student achievement. In this webinar recording, the Ohio Department of Education provides a general overview of the school improvement regulations and looks at the four major leverage points provided to states to guide school improvement efforts. The policies in Ohio’s ESSA consolidated plan will establish how these levers are used to drive greater achievement in our state’s lowest-performing schools. The discussion items include: 1. School identification for comprehensive and targeted support and improvement; 2. Distribution and use of Title I school improvement funds; 3. State approval of evidence-based improvement plans and supports and monitoring; and 4. Coordination with other federal Title programs and state and local initiatives.
