Act of 1965 (ESEA) Flexibility Data 

SUMMARY: On September 23, 2011, the 

U.S. Department of Education (ED) 

invited State educational agencies 

(SEAs) to request flexibility pursuant to 

the authority in section 9401 of ESEA, 

which allows the Secretary of Education 

to waive, with certain exceptions, any 

statutory or regulatory requirement of 

the ESEA for an SEA that receives funds 

under a program authorized by the 

ESEA and requests a waiver. In order to 

ensure that SEAs receiving ESEA 

flexibility are continuing to meet the 

intent and purpose of Title I of ESEA, 

including meeting the educational 

needs of low-achieving students, closing 

achievement gaps, and holding schools, 

local educational agencies, and SEAs 

accountable for improving the academic 

achievement of all students, ED will 

continue to collect all data related to 

student proficiency rates as well as 

performance against the annual 

measurable objectives. This collection 

will be applicable to SEAs with 

approved flexibility requests.
