The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was enacted to emphasize what?

Explanation:
ESSA emphasizes returning authority to states and local districts to shape standards, assessments, and accountability within a federal framework. It gives states more flexibility to decide how to meet student needs and how to measure success, while still maintaining some federal requirements. It doesn’t remove standardized testing—tests are still required in specified grades—but states design their own accountability plans rather than having a uniform, centralized approach. It also does not create a uniform national curriculum, nor does it increase federal control. All of this means the focus is on more local control of schools.
