Introduction

Pursuant to

Legislative House Bill 2395 (HB2395) Establishes the Arizona School Fitness Program in the Arizona Department of Education to recognize public schools participating in a nationally recognized physical fitness test or event through the the AZ School Report Cards system as part of their annual school reporting. 

The 9th Grade On Track Grant is a multi-year grant designed to provide funding to local education agencies and charter schools to improve the ninth-grade student experience to ensure that students enrolled in ninth grade develop the skills they need to successfully proceed to the tenth grade on time and ultimately graduate from high school and launch successful careers. Applicants commit to implementing the key components of the 9th Grade Success model and should use funds to support implementation in four broad categories:

The resources in this section of the ADE Website refer to Effective Use of Technology (EUT) as defined by the Title IV-A section of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The purpose of this program is to provide support to schools and local education agencies (LEA's) in improving the use of technology to improve the academic achievement, academic growth, and digital literacy of all students. ESSA Sec. 4109(a)

Title IV-A publishes annual reports detailing the accomplishments the Title IV-A team has made toward achieving the objectives for the year including analysis of the state’s use of funds and the local educational agency’s (LEA’s) progress in meeting statutory obligations. 

To be eligible to receive an allocation under the Title IV-A Student Support & Academic Enrichment grant, a local educational agency (LEA) must have received Title I-A funding through an application approved in the prior school year.

Consortiums: LEAs may choose to submit an application as part of a consortium. LEAs seeking to use this option must contact [email protected] for the next steps. Reference: ESSA Sec. 4105 [20 U.S.C. 7115]

Title IV-A Allocations

Title IV-A allocations for LEAs are calculated by formula, based on the proportion of those LEAs’ prior year’s Title I, Part A allocation. SEAs are further required to ensure no LEA receives an allocation less than $10,000 (minus any required Maintenance of Effort reductions), and must ratably reduce LEAs accordingly to ensure the minimum amount requirement is met.
