This grant provides supplemental federal funding to Massachusetts public school districts to increase student access to high-quality educational experiences. The program focuses on three priorities: supporting well-rounded educational opportunities, fostering safe and healthy students and learning environments, and promoting the effective use of technology. The overarching goal is to ensure equitable opportunities for all students, especially those from historically underserved communities, in alignment with the state's educational vision.
