Title IV-Overview
Title IV schools are educational institutions authorized by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in federal student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education/ Act of 1965. Under the Title IV Act, in December 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) added a new block grant formula to include K-12 schools.

Authorized in December 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) introduced a new block-grant formula under Title IV, Part A, with a wide range of allowable uses. Title IV, Part A, Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grants are intended to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of States, LEAs, schools, and local communities to:
-
provide all students with access to a well-rounded education,
-
improve school conditions for student learning, and
-
improve the use of technology to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

The purpose of Georgia’s Title IV, Part B, 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program is to provide federal funds for communities to establish or expand activities in community learning centers that operate during out-of-school hours and serve three specific purposes:
-
To provide opportunities for academic enrichment and tutorial services to help students meet state and local academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math
-
To offer students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program; and
-
To offer families of 21st CCLC students opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children's education.
