The primary source of federal aid for elementary and secondary education is the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) - particulary its Title I-A program. Title I-A authorized federal aid for the education of disadvantaged students. The ESEA was initially enacted in 1965 (P.L. 89-10), and was most recently comprehensively amended and reauthroized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA; P.L 114-95).
