The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) includes Title IV-A Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Program. The intent of the SSAE Program is to improve students’ academic achievement by increasing the capacity of State Education Agencies, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), and local communities to provide all students with:
- Access to a well-rounded education,
- Improved school conditions for student learning (safe and healthy students), and
- Improved use of technology in order to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students (ESEA Section 4101).
