Every Student Succeeds

Elementary and Secondary Education Act

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is a United States federal statute originally enacted in 1965. These federal funds are authorized for professional development, instructional materials, resources to support educational programs, and parental involvement programs. The current reauthorization of ESEA is the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015.

Anna ISD receives funding for the following entitlement programs within the Elementary and Secondary Education Act:

Title I, Part A
Title II, Part A
Title III, Part A LEP
Title IV, Part A

Title I, Part A – Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged

Title I, Part A provides supplemental funding for resources to help schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families provide high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's student performance standards. These programs must use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically-based research.

Anna ISD has four schools that are served as Title I Schoolwide Campuses.

  • Joe K. Bryant Elementary School
  • Judith Lindsey Harlow Elementary School
  • Sue Evelyn Rattan Elementary School

Title II, Part A – Teacher Training and Recruiting

Title II, Part A provides supplemental funding to improve student achievement. The funds are used to elevate teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies, and to increase the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools. The program uses scientifically based professional development interventions and holds districts and schools accountable for improvement in student academic performance.

Title III, Part A LEP – Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students
