Welcome to the Office of Grants and Funded Programs
The Office of Grants and Funded Programs is dedicated to advancing student academic achievement through strategic management and support of various funding sources. We play a pivotal role in effectively utilizing Title I funds and local and private grants to create impactful educational programs and opportunities for all students. We are dedicated to supporting schools and educators in delivering high-quality education and creating equitable learning opportunities for all students.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) replaces No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. ESSA was designed to ensure that all students have equitable access to high-quality educational resources and opportunities, as well as to close educational achievement gaps.
Formula grants under ESEA are primarily governed by:
- Title I, Part A - Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies;
- Title II, Part A - Supporting Effective Instruction;
- Title III, Part A – Language Instruction for English Learners and Immigrant Students and Academic Achievement; and
- Title IV, Part A - Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants (newly reauthorized under ESSA)
