Section A. Overview and Purpose
A-1. What is an ESEA Flexibility Request?
In September 2011, the United States Department of Education (USDE) offered States the opportunity to request particular waivers of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also known as No Child Left Behind. Oklahoma requested all eleven waivers that were offered by providing a detailed plan of how Oklahoma has met the four Flexibility Principles:
Principle 1: College and Career Ready Expectations for All Students
Principle 2: State-Developed Differentiated Recognition, Accountability, and Support Systems
Principle 3: Supporting Effective Instruction and Leadership
Principle 4: Reducing Duplication and Unnecessary Burden
The USDE approved Oklahoma’s request for these waivers on February 8, 2012.
A-2. What is the purpose of requesting flexibility from ESEA?
The USDE recognized that “States and districts have initiated groundbreaking reforms and innovations to increase the quality of instruction and improve academic achievement for all students.” This flexibility will allow Oklahoma to move forward with the educational reforms enacted by the Oklahoma state legislature without burdening districts and schools to work toward two different accountability systems.
