The newly signed Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) will not fully take effect until the 2017-18 school year, but new federal guidelines on implementation have already been released. Join leading education experts from the federal, state and local level for a look at the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act.

Speakers will address the regulatory process of implementing the new education law, the impact it will have at the state and local level, and what to expect in 2016. It will be a robust discussion about what the law will mean for the education sector at the national, state, and local level.

Speakers:

• Emma Vadehra, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Department of Education
• Jessah Walker, Senior Federal Relations Associate at the Council of Chief State School Officers
• Kimberly Richey, Senior Government Relations Counsel, National School Boards Association
