Background
The 2018 Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) Competitive Grant program was authorized under Title IV, Part A of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). While the ESSA established the SSAE program as a formula grant, the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 provided states with the option of awarding subgrants on a competitive basis to eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) (i.e., those that receive Title I, Part A funds), or consortia of eligible LEAs, to support activities under one or more of ESEA sections 4107 (well-rounded educational opportunities), 4108 (safe and healthy students), or 4109 (effective use of technology). The 2018–19 California State Budget Act, Senate Bill 840, Chapter 29, authorized $44,080,000 to be available through the 2018–19 fiscal year for this purpose. The California Department of Education awarded 54 subgrants to eligible LEAs.
