Senate Votes to Overturn ESSA Regulations

Greetings colleagues:

Yesterday, the Senate voted 50-49 to overturn U.S. Department of Education Final Regulations for implementing the accountability, data reporting, and state plan provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Senate vote follows a similar overturning vote by the House of Representatives on February 7, 2017. This measure was allowed under the Congressional Review Act and now moves to the President's desk for his signature.

It is important to note that the overturning of these Regulations will have little effect on the implementation of the McKinney-Vento Act, as amended by ESSA, including on the development of state McKinney-Vento plans, as the requirements for these plans are established in federal statute.

Best regards,

Christina Dukes, Federal Liaison
