GovInfo identifies the Every Student Succeeds Act as Public Law 114-95 and states it reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.

The law Carter supported became enacted federal law, but it reauthorized rather than eliminated the Department of Education, so it only partially fulfills the broader promise.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Carter promised to support legislation restraining Washington education bureaucrats and reining in the Department of Education. In the same federal term, he voted for the Every Student Succeeds Act, publicly described it in those terms, and the bill became Public Law 114-95. Because the promise was framed as supporting such legislation rather than eliminating the Department outright, enactment of a federal education law reducing federal control and restoring some state/local authority is enough to count as delivered.
