The Michigan Department of Education today submitted the state’s plan to the U.S. Department of Education for the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, signed by State Superintendent Brian Whiston and Governor Rick Snyder.

ESSA is the new federal law that replaced the previous No Child Left Behind Act. Every state is to develop a plan that it will use to improve educational outcomes for children and hold schools accountable and transparent for that success.
