    What is ESEA?

    Fifty y    ears ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education

    Act (ESEA) of 1965.      The law represented a major new commitment by the federal government to

    “quality and equality” in educating our young     people. When President Johnson sent the bill

     to Congress, he urged that the country, “declare a national goal of full educational opportunity.”The purpose of ESEA was to provide additional resources for vulnerable students. ESEA offered new grants to districts serving low-income students, federal grants for textbooks and library books, created special education centers, and created scholarships for low-income college students. The law also provided federal grants to state educational agencies to improve the quality of elementary and secondary education.

    In the 35 years following ESEA, the federal government increased the amount of resources dedicated to education. However, education remains a local issue. The federal government remained committed to ensuring that disadvantaged students had additional resources, however, because as a nation we were falling short of meeting the law’s original goal of full educational opportunity.
