ESSA promotes successful school completion among youth who are parents, expectant parents, or victims of domestic or sexual violence by:
• Fostering their enrollment in school and school attendance;
• Supporting their efforts to participate in school; and
• Providing guidance to school districts when a student is an expectant parent, parenting, or a victim of domestic or sexual violence.
Pregnancy, parenting and domestic and sexual violence affect school success, and too often schools offer students no help…
To address the needs of students ESSA provisions include:
Excused Absences related to pregnancy, parenting and domestic or sexual violence
Specially Trained Personnel to serve as an advocate for students
Student Confidentiality to encourage attendance and participation in school
Connecting Students to Community Resources that support their efforts to succeed in school
In-Service Training to guide school personnel on the needs of students, available resources, policy and protocol

• Over 60% of forcible rapes occur before the victim is 18 years old.
• In 2001, 8.1% of Illinois students reported being a victim of dating violence and 5.6% reported having been sexually assaulted.
The assistant principal knew my situation and that I was late for school because I was spending so much time traveling from the shelter to childcare to school, but that didn’t stop the school from kicking me out.

• In 2000, 24.2% of Illinoisans age 16 to 24 had not completed four years of high school.
• In 2004, nearly 10% of Illinois births were to teen mothers.
The school was not sensitive to my needs and pressured me to remain in an unsafe environment rather than working to protect my safety.
