ESSA: A New Hope
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is our national education law
ESEA was last reauthorized in 2001 as the No Child Left Behind Act
Anticipated to be fully operational in school year 2017-2018Slide6
Can we use ESSA to Address Trauma in Schools?
Will drive funding to states and school districts with high percentages of low-income children
Funding can be used
to support the conditions of learning, including school health
Separate funding available for professional development to support school staff with behavioral health trainingSlide7
Accountability and the Non-Academic Indicator
Under ESSA, school accountability systems could radically change with a new metric to rank schools:
a “measure of school quality” or successSlide8
What’s Measured Is What Matters
We need your feedback!
Some considerations:
Can the indicator be reliably measured (data collected)?
Do the chosen metrics demonstrate progress over time (vs yes/no indicators)?
Will this increase student testing?
What matters to student success? What should be measured?Slide9
Indicator Brainstorm
Examples
Social and emotional learning
PE hours per week
Chronic absenteeism
Measures of school climate (e.g. bullying)
Teacher engagement
Access to AP classes
School nurse on site
Post-secondary readiness
Student engagement
Discipline dataSlide10
The Illinois Report Card
ESSA requires that
all states
publish a report card
Two new key measures related to trauma are required by law in most states: chronic absenteeism and safetySlide11
Chronic AbsenteeismSlide12
Chronic Absenteeism (CA)
CA includes excused and unexcused absences
CA can be strong indicator of student health services and how a school is addressing trauma
Potentially strong non-academic indicator
IL is making progress on defining and tracking CA through the Illinois Attendance CommissionSlide13
Changes to School Health Services

Conclusion & Next Steps
The Illinois State Board of Education’s decision on how to implement ESSA could determine the future of trauma-sensitive schools in Illinois.
