Supplemental Title Programs

Summary of Purpose of NCLB Title Programs

The Supplemental Programs office manages the implementation of programs authorized under Public Law 107-110, the "No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act" at a funding level of approximately $123 million for the purpose of closing the achievement gap with accountability so that no child is left behind. Supplemental programs consist of several "Title" programs, corresponding to major sections of the NCLB legislation. These programs are described briefly below.

Title IVB - 21st Century Community Learning Centers

This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
