Congratulations to the school districts that received funding for the Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grants! 38 school districts, some of which are our clients, were awarded part of a 28.5 million dollar grant line. These grants were awarded for three types of funding:

1) Well-Rounded Educational Opportunities;
2) Safe and Healthy Students; and
3) Effective Use of Technology.

“The SSAE program is intended to increase the capacity of the state Education Department, local school districts, schools and communities to provide students with access to a well-rounded education; improve school conditions for student learning; and improve the use of technology to lift the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.” – NYSED.gov
