Description
Title IV, Part A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) is a formula-grant program administered by the Illinois State Board of Education’s Title Grant Administration Department. It supports improved student academic achievement by strengthening the capacity of states, local education agencies (LEAs), schools, and communities. Its three priorities are access to a well-rounded education, improved school conditions for learning, and effective technology use to advance achievement and digital literacy.
