Abstract	The Elementary and Secondary Schools Education Act (ESEA) was finally reauthorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The reauthorization was long overdue and with its passage comes much hype and some misinformation about what the law permits and does not permit. The purpose of this brief is to outline some of the key accountability provisions of ESSA and offer some considerations for states as education leaders move to meet the accountability requirements of the law that capitalizes on what has been learned in the state previously and how an ESSA accountability system can best support the state's policy and educational goals. These recommendations and general steps can be tailored to each state's needs. The accountability systems called for under ESSA offer more flexibility than under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) even with the waivers. Taking advantage of this flexibility to further the state's policy and educational aims will require considerable thought and collaboration with other states and other partners. (ERIC).
