The Office of Federal Programs ensures that Federal and Discretionary grants awarded to Carroll ISD are expended in compliance with grant guidelines. It is also the department's responsibility to identify students who qualify for programs and receive entitlements for academic success.
This funding pays for resources to assist schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families. These resources improve the quality of education and help ensure all children in low-income contexts meet the state's student performance standards.
The purpose of Title II, Part A is to increase student achievement consistent with the challenging State academic standards; improve the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principals, and other school leaders; increase the number of effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders who are effective in improving student academic achievement in schools; and provide low-income and minority students greater access to effective teachers, principals, and other school leaders.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as reauthorized by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, established Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1, the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant Program (SSAE). The overarching goal of Title IV, Part A, Subpart 1, is to increase the capacity of state education agencies, local educational agencies (LEAs), campuses, and communities to meet the following three goals:
Provide all students access to a well-rounded education
Improve school conditions for student learning (safe and healthy students)
Improve the use of technology to improve the academic outcomes and digital literacy of students
Carroll ISD is responsible for ensuring the identification, school enrollment, attendance, and opportunities for academic success for students in homeless situations.
