Reichert Applauds ESEA Reauthorization | 2015-12-02 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Republican | House | WA | Dave Reichert | R000578 | reichert.house.gov | legacy | Washington, DC – U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert (R-WA) made the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), replacing the existing law known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB): “Ensuring that all children have access to a world-class education is one of our greatest responsibilities, but for too long we have failed to meet that duty as our schools have struggled under the outdated No Child Left Behind law. I’m pleased we were able to roll up our sleeves, put politics aside, and come to a bipartisan agreement on legislation updating our nation’s education law with one that put parents and educators back in charge of our children’s learning. This historic piece of legislation will end a decades-old top-down bureaucratic approach to education and empower our local school districts to make decisions that best address the unique needs of their students so that every child can succeed.” Background: This past November, Rep. Reichert sent a letter to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House and Senate committees responsible for education legislation, urging them to quickly come to an agreement on legislation to reauthorize ESEA. S. 1177, the Every Student Succeeds Act, is the conference agreement to reauthorize ESEA and passed the House on December 2, 2015 by a vote of 359-64. The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
