Title I part a basic grants to leas

This $706.4 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.010). The grant provides funding to the Pennsylvania Department of Education to improve teaching and learning for students failing or at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards in high-poverty schools. Through sub-awards, the funding supports over 100 local educational agencies and charter schools across Pennsylvania in delivering services to improve student academic achievement from July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Key services include interventions for struggling students and professional development for educators. The large funding amount and number of sub-awardees involved indicates the grant provides widespread support reaching many high-need school districts and students across Pennsylvania.
