Listening session to collect Every Student Succeeds Act feedback
Mississippi State University and the Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District will host a joint listening session about the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) at Starkville High School on Oct. 3 at 6 p.m.
The session is part of the Mississippi Department of Education's (MDE) effort to collect feedback as it aligns the state Board of Education's strategic plan with ESSA's requirements.
As a replacement of the No Child Left Behind legislation, ESSA provides Mississippi with new opportunities for success for every child, according of officials. The state will use ESSA to support Mississippi’s plan for high achievement for schools and students.
Local stakeholders -- families, educators, community members, etc. -- are invited to provide MDE with feedback on the strategic plan and ESSA implementation. Registration is encouraged at xxxxxxxxx but it is not required.
For additional information, please contact Devon Brenner, the special assistant to the vice president for education initiatives at Mississippi State, at devon@researchmsstate.edu.
