Secretary DeVos Approves Michigan’s State ESSA Plan
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
today announced the approval of Michigan’s consolidated state plan under the
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
“Michigan’s plan meets
the statutory requirements. As such, I have approved it,” said Secretary DeVos.
“I thank the U.S. Department and Michigan Department of Education for their
hard work in ensuring the plan complied with the law.”
“While the plan meets
the statutory requirements, Michigan must not view this as a ceiling, but
rather as a baseline upon which to build, strengthen and expand. All
Michigan students deserve an education that prepares them for success in the
21st century. I urge Michigan’s leaders to continue to find new and innovative
ways to help students succeed."
