Title IV-A (SSAE)

Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants specifically support SEL programs, school safety, and well-rounded education. Story Bridge is directly aligned with SSAE's "safe and healthy students" priority area.

Story Bridge fit: CASEL-aligned SEL tool that supports social-emotional learning, mental health, and safe school environments.
