About this event

Mississippi State University and the Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District are hosting a joint listening session on the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) at Starkville High School. The session is part of the Mississippi Department of Education's (MDE) effort to collect feedback to align the state Board of Education's strategic plan with the requirements of ESSA, which is replacing No Child Left Behind legislation. ESSA provides Mississippi with new opportunities for success for every child, according to officials. The state will use ESSA to support the state’s plan for high achievement for schools and students. Local stakeholders — families, educators, community members and others — are invited to provide MDE with feedback on the strategic plan and ESSA implementation. Registration is encouraged by clicking the "Link" below, but it is not required. Stakeholders also are invited to provide feedback directly to MDE at http://mdek12.org/SSE/essa.
