> What Is Title IV, Part A?
>
> The Title IV, Part A block grant is a new program created by the newly
> enacted and bipartisan “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA). The program,
> also known as the Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grant
> program, will be utilized by states and school districts to:
>
>    1. Provide students with a well-rounded education (e.g. STEM, computer
>    science, music, arts, physical education, college career counseling);
>    2. Support a safe and healthy school environment (e.g. comprehensive
>    school mental health, drug and violence prevention, training on
>    trauma-informed practices, health and physical education);
>    3. Support the effective use of technology (professional development,
>    blended learning, devices).
>
> *Included in SSAE is the allocation of funds for an effective school
> library program.*
>
> The Underfunding Threat
>
> Despite being authorized at $1.65 billion within ESSA, the block grant is
> facing significant funding barriers from Congress. The Senate’s proposal
> only allocates $300 million for the block grant while the House’s
> allocation would provide $1 billion, both falling far short of the
> authorized level. If underfunded, school districts would be prevented from
> investing in meaningful areas of education, such as effective school
> library programs and will be faced with the unnecessarily difficult choice
> of funding some programs over others.

> In order to keep the pressure on Congress to fully fund the SSAE

> the Title IV, Part A coalition, working to urge Congress to provide maximum
