The ESEA was first enacted in 1965 as the primary source of federal funding for K-12 education, and was most recently reauthorized in 2001 with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). NCLB expired in 2007. On December 2, Kuster joined a bipartisan majority of her House colleagues in voting in favor of the ESSA when it passed the House by a vote of 359 to 64. I am so pleased to see that the Senate has approved the final conference version of the ESSA, which will rectify many of the flawed provisions implemented during the well-intentioned but failed No Child Left Behind Act, Kuster said. Since coming to Congress, I have heard from so many New Hampshire educators and parents about the need to fix these misguided standards. While the ESSA is not perfect, it represents a genuine bipartisan compromise, and I look forward to continuing to hear from students, parents, teachers, and school leaders as these important reforms are implemented. I have consistently advocated for an education system that meets the needs of all students, takes steps to address inequality, and empowers parents, teachers, and school leadersthose who know students bestto be active participants in educational decision making. Education and innovation are vital engines of a successful economy, and students in the Granite State and throughout the country need and deserve access to quality schools. We must ensure that all students receive a comprehensive, well-rounded education, and this legislation takes important steps toward that goal. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
