Answer:
In the United States, control over education moved from local authority to shared authority between local, state, and federal government primarily through the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. This legislation provided federal funding to states and local school districts for improving education and created new programs such as Title I, which aimed to improve the education of disadvantaged students. As a condition of receiving federal funding, states and school districts were required to comply with certain federal regulations and standards. This marked a significant shift in the balance of power between local and state governments and the federal government in regards to education policy and funding.
