Abstract: This study will collect information about policy and program implementation of the grants administered under Title IV, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), to describe and report on districts' decision-making process for use of Title IV, Part A funds, how states help inform districts' decisions, and what topic areas and activities are funded with Title IV, Part A funds. The revision will amend the study to eliminate an optional survey planned for 2024 and add a new information collection. The new collection will obtain information about a new grant administered through Title IV-A, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) Stronger Connections (SC) grant program, which awards funds to states and districts to promote safer, more inclusive learning environments and support the social, emotional, physical, and mental health of students.
