Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
-
In December of 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed into law reauthorizing President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. Gilbert Public School District currently receives federal funding through ESSA’s Title I, Title II and Title IV grants. The Office of Federal & State Programs at GPS provides support and assistance in managing those programs.
Title I Overview

In addition to core classroom instruction, Gilbert Public Schools’ Title I Programs specialize in providing high-quality intervention and support to students. GPS uses multiple, educationally related, objective criteria to determine student eligibility. Title I Teams use evidence-based activities, strategies, and/or interventions to provide the appropriate support to GPS students who are academically at risk of meeting state academic standards.

Title IV-A: Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant, is to provide students with activities that support well-rounded education, safe and healthy students and technology.
