Cranberry Area School District: Federal Programs
Cranberry Area School District receives funding for a number of federal programs. Funds for these programs are released to the Pennsylvania Department of Education and then distributed to school districts through grants. Each year Cranberry Elementary submits a grant proposal for various projects and programs. Parent and family input is required as a component of our grant writing process. Meetings are held at various times throughout the year.

Our largest federal program is Title I. Title I is a 100% Federally funded supplemental education program aimed at improving educational opportunities especially for those considered educationally deprived. Title I programs are designed to help children meet the state content and performance standards in reading, language arts, and mathematics. The amount of funding received is determined by the reported poverty level of the district. Cranberry operates a schoolwide TitleI program.
Cranberry Elementary also has the opportunity to receive funding in Title II and Title IV. Title II provides opportunities for professional development of staff to ensure quality instruction. Title IV provides for programming that supports a well-rounded education through access to the arts, STEM, and technology.
Further information on all federally funded programs is available at the 🔗 PA Department of Education website.
