21st Century Learning Communities

Title IV grant programs are designed to support the comprehensive needs of students in a variety of settings, strengthen family engagement, and bring America's schools into the 21st century.

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (Title IV, Part B) program supports the creation of opportunities for academic enrichment during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics; offers students enrichment activities that complement regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

For the 2022-2023 school year, the following schools are 21st Century Community Learning Centers:

Bedford Elementary School (YMCA)
Liberty Middle School
