Afterschool and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Reauthorization
The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (or ESEA and formerly No Child Left Behind (NCLB)) provides afterschool advocates an opportunity to influence the legislation that authorizes several significant funding streams for afterschool.
The Afterschool Alliance is working to ensure that advancements are made for afterschool in the ESEA reauthorization process. As part of this effort, we are launching this special resource to provide advocates with important background information on ESEA policy initiatives, the latest news updates, advocacy tips and materials to take action.
