Newly authorized under subpart 1 of Title IV, Part A of the ESEA is the Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) program. The SSAE program is intended to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of state education agencies, local education agencies, and local communities to provide all students with:
- Access to a well-rounded education
- Improve school conditions for student learning, and safe & healthy students
- Improve the use of technology to improve the academic achievement & digital literacy of all students
School climate and safety are priorities in Montana and the OPI encourages all districts to use their new Title IV, Part A funds to ensure their students are learning in safe, positive school environments.
