South Dakota Congresswoman Kristi Noem voted for the Every Student Succeeds Act, which represents the first major education overhaul since No Child Left Behind in 2002……………..
Noem says it reduces restrictions on spending federal education dollars at the local level………….
Noem says the bill changes policy, but doesn’t have any new money with it….
Noem says the bill also includes language that streamlines the Impact Aid program. That provides federal dollars to districts that have large tracts of federally held land that don’t pay property taxes.
