Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers - Title IV Part B

Federal funding for before school, afterschool, and summer, as part of Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), is delivered through the Vermont Agency of Education. The program focuses on supporting diverse and engaging educational programming for k-12 youth and families, including tutoring for youth in high poverty communities with demonstrated academic and family need. To be most effective and sustainable, programs align and strategically integrate school system practices such as in the areas of professional development, positive behavioral approaches, inclusionary practices, and food while building afterschool and summer programs that enhance opportunities, promote growth, and demonstrate learning and other gains. Schools, in partnership with hundreds of community providers, deliver programming.
