House and Senate Floor and Committee Action to Reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act: 1966 to Present. CRS Report R43761, Version 5. Updated

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was initially enacted in 1965 (P.L. 89-10). Since then, there have been 13 major reauthorizations of the ESEA, with the most recent reauthorization occurring in 2015 with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, P.L. 114-95). This report provides information on the votes taken in the House and Senate in the committees of jurisdiction and on the House and Senate floors prior to and following conference proceedings for the ESEA of 1965 and subsequent major reauthorizations. The report also provides vote information on comprehensive ESEA reauthorization bills that were considered in the committees of jurisdiction or on the House or Senate floors following the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB; P.L. 107-110) but prior to the consideration of the ESSA. During the 112th and 113th Congresses, both committees with jurisdiction over the ESEA ordered ESEA reauthorization bills to be reported. In the 113th Congress, an ESEA reauthorization bill was considered on the House floor.
