To foster equity, the New York State ESSA plan:

• addresses disparities in training for teachers to help them be effective in the classroom;
• provides students more access to rigorous high school coursework;
• makes schools equally welcoming environments for all students;
• increases fiscal transparency in school building spending; and
• uses multiple measures to allow students to demonstrate proficiency in state learning standards.
