The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has requested that the U. S. Department of Education (USDE) waive specific provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by P.L. 107-110 No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001. The waiver requests, if granted, would give TEA and more than 1,200 local education agencies (LEAs) additional flexibility while reducing duplication.
