NSBA Comments - RE: ED Request for Information; Docket ID: ED-2015-OESE-0130 Title of Collection: Implementing Programs Under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act

This letter builds on my testimony at the Department’s hearing on ESSA implementation in Washington, D.C. on January 11, 2016.  Through our comments, NSBA underscores the importance of community leadership and ownership of our nation’s public schools, while the Department considers regulations and non-regulatory guidance to implement ESSA.  NSBA believes education is a civil right, and advocates for equity and excellence in public education through local school board governance.
