The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) administers Title grants funded through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Collectively, these federally funded entitlement grants are intended to support students who have historically been marginalized and provide all students a high-quality, well-rounded education.
Each year, eligible local education agencies (LEAs), including DC Public Schools (DCPS) and public charter schools, receive ESEA Title funds to address their unique student needs, and LEAs must submit an application, which includes a budget, in the Enterprise Grants Management System (EGMS) for OSSE’s review and approval. More information and resources to help LEAs prepare for the application process can be found on the ESEA Application and Funding webpage.
Below are resources, tools, and reference guides that support the implementation of ESEA Titles I-IV, Part A programs, along with trainings and technical assistance designed to help LEAs effectively develop, implement, and evaluate their federally funded programs.
Upcoming Trainings and Technical Assistance
Coming soon! Join OSSE the third Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. for Title Tuesday
Title Tuesdays are monthly office hours that will cover ESEA grant program topics relevant to the current moment in the grant cycle. Examples of rotating ESEA topics include parent and family engagement, application requirements, program requirements, fiscal planning, and monitoring. Each session will provide actionable information relevant to ESEA Title programs and offer LEAs an opportunity to engage directly with the OSSE ESEA team on any related questions.
These virtual office hours will occur at 10 a.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. Specific topic updates and event access details will be provided through the Division of Strategic Funding for School Quality (FSQ) Grants newsletter (sign up here).
