Abstract
Thank you for the important work you are engaged in to transition to the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA). I am writing today to provide information about technical assistance and resources available to you to support your State's transition to the ESSA over the next few months. The new law provides time and authority for the U.S. Department of Education (Department) to work with State and local partners to ensure a smooth and orderly transition to ESSA. During this time, your needs for technical assistance will likely evolve. To support this transition, my office is committed to continuing to provide technical assistance that is timely, relevant, results-oriented, and based on individual State needs and context
