Description
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) administers this federal formula grant under Title IV, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act. Fund Code 0309 provides supplemental resources to local school districts to improve equitable access to high-quality educational experiences through well-rounded education, safe and healthy learning environments, and effective use of technology.
The program supports direct student services, staff professional development, personnel delivering programs, and supplemental educational resources and equipment. DESE emphasizes opportunities for historically underserved students and culturally and linguistically sustaining practices that foster belonging and deeper learning. Applicants should intentionally support at least one DESE strategic objective: the whole student, deeper learning, or a diverse and effective educator workforce. District-wide programming is permitted, with priority given to schools facing the greatest needs.
