All sums appropriated under this act, including supplemental 8 and deficiency budgets, shall be expended in a manner reflecting and encouraging a policy of 9 nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for members of minority groups, women and persons 1 of 2 10 with a disability. All officials and employees of an agency, board, department, commission or 11 division receiving monies under this act shall take affirmative steps to ensure equality of 12 opportunity in the internal affairs of state government, as well as in their relations with the 13 public, including those persons and organizations doing business with the commonwealth. Each 14 agency, board, department, commission or division of the commonwealth, in spending 15 appropriated sums and discharging its statutory responsibilities, shall adopt measures to ensure 16 equal opportunity in the areas of hiring, promotion, demotion or transfer, recruitment, layoff or 17 termination, rates of compensation, in-service or apprenticeship training programs and all terms 18 and conditions of employment. 2 of 2 SECTION 1A.

    May 10, 2016 The Honorable John B. King, Jr. Secretary of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202 Dear Secretary King: As teachers and principals in Title I schools, we are writing to urge you to ensure that one of the most important provisions of the Every Student Succeeds Act – the provision that ensures that federal Title I funds are supplemental to state and local school funding – is fully and fairly enforced by states. This provision goes to the heart of this civil rights law because it is intended to ensure that federal resources are spent to provide the additional educational resources that students need to succeed. While leaders in Congress agree that ensuring equity for all students is a core component of the new law, the steps to honor this intent and carry it out are complex, controversial, and could have unintended consequences. Making smart, fair choices as the law is implemented will take concerted effort by everyone involved. The purpose of Title I is to “provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps.” As teachers and principals in Title I schools who are working every day to close these achievement gaps, we see first-hand the importance to our students of the critical services and resources made available through supplemental Title I funding. If this important ESSA provision is not properly enforced, we are concerned that some states could misunderstand the law's intent and use Title I for other purposes, including using it to replace state and local funding.
