This District of Columbia plan complies with Section 1111(b)(1)(B) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which requires that states indicate “how low-income and minority children… are not served at disproportionate rates by ineffective, out-of-field, or inexperienced teachers,” a provision that builds on the educator equity requirements in section 1111(b)(8)(C) of the ESEA as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act, under which the District submitted its Educator Equity Plan in 2015.
