Title IV Part A, Subpart 1 authorizes the expense of federal funds to support students and schools in three domains:

1. Well-rounded education

2. Safe and healthy students

3. Effective use of technology

LEAs and consortia may apply for funds to support activities in one or in multiple domains, and grant funds have a life of 27 months. LEA and consortia applications must prioritize schools for Title IV support with the greatest demonstrated need.

Title IV Part A, Subpart 1 gives authority to grant funds through formula. The authority for competitive granting of Title IV funds was provided in the Appropriations Act and applies only for fiscal year 2017 funds.

Title IV funds are supplementary and may not supplant state and local funds. The three traditional assumptions of supplanting apply to Title IV funds, and supplement not supplant is considered on a cost by cost basis. There is an assumption of supplanting if

1. the expense was paid for by state or local funds previously

2. the expense is paid for by state and local funds at schools not receiving Title IV funds

3. the expense is a legal requirement

Providing equitable services for private school students is a Title IV Part A requirement. Funds for equitable services are calculated in a similar fashion to Title I Part A. Title IV grant recipients are required to provide equitable services based on enrollment of impoverished students at Title IV schools and of impoverished students at private non-profit schools who live in the attendance area of a Title IV school.

Timely and meaningful consultation with private schools as to the nature of the services to be provided is a grant requirement. For Title IV grants awarded competitively, the equitable services will remain in the domain(s) for which the LEA received funding.

LEA's receiving more than $30,000 in Title IV funds are required to complete a comprehensive needs assessment and to update the needs assessment every three years.

The Title IV application must be completed through consultation with stakeholders including: parents, teachers, principals, other school leaders, specialized instructional support personnel, students, community-based organizations, local government representatives (which may include law enforcement, juvenile court, child welfare agencies, or public housing agencies), Indian tribes as appropriate, charter school teachers, principals and other school leaders as appropriate, and other experts. Continued consultation is required throughout the project to improve Title IV services.

U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona laid out his vision for the direction the Department will follow in 2023 to promote academic excellence, improve learning conditions, and prepare our students for a world where global engagement is critical to our nation's standing. In his address, Secretary Cardona remarked that "Raise the Bar: Lead the World" is not a list of new priorities but a call to strengthen our will to transform education for the better, building on approaches that we know work in education. Raise the Bar incorporates three pillars and two strategies within each pillar:

Achieve Academic Excellence through efforts to accelerate learning for every student and deliver a comprehensive and rigorous education for every student;

Boldly Improve Learning Conditions through efforts to eliminate the educator shortage for every school and invest in every student's mental health and well-being; and

Create Pathways for Global Engagement through efforts to ensure every student has a pathway to college and career and provide every student a pathway to multilingualism.

We know that as States and districts pursue the strategies within each pillar, they seek opportunities to share with and learn from each other. The Best Practices Clearinghouse serves as one mechanism for them to do so. The Best Practices Clearinghouse remains focused on student well-being and now aligns that focus with the Raise the Bar pillars.

Over the next year, the Department will provide tools, resources, and assistance to States, districts, and schools to advance the strategies in the Raise the Bar pillars. We invite you as well to submit your best practices related to the Raise the Bar pillars and visit the Best Practices Clearinghouse to find current resources and information on how other States and districts are Raising the Bar to advance educational equity and excellence for all students.

As we move this work forward together, the Department will engage directly with parents and families about what's working, what's not, and what they want to see for their children's education, and we will work to help parents and families be true partners with their child's school. There has never been a more important time for us to intentionally collaborate so that, together, we can prepare our students to truly thrive.

Emily Sisk-Layman, Academic Enrichment Coordinator

I began this position with the Safe and Healthy Schools Bureau of the NM PED in May of 2023.  As Academic Enrichment Coordinator, I support districts with the Title IV application process.  Title IV grants funds to districts and charters with their plans for providing a safe and supportive learning environment.  As a former elementary school principal, I can offer suggestions of how districts and charters can best utilize their awarded funds to address student needs with interventions, enrichment, unique learning opportunities, as well as provide connections to resources for supports with social, emotional, behavioral, and physical health.  Also in this position, I serve as the PED point of contact for NM GRADS, which is the statewide program for expectant and parenting teens.  NM GRADS is a long-standing entity and partnership with NM PED that ensures the academic supports and success for pregnant and parenting students.

Please contact me at emily.sisk-layman@ped.nm.gov with any questions and I am very happy to be in such a position to provide support to schools and their districts.
