Title IVA Data Collection

In accordance with federal Title IVA reporting requirements, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is required to collect data from districts receiving Title IVA funds. Please note that there has been an update to the typical Title IV, Part A Data Collection schedule. Title IV, Part A Data Collection must cover the entire performance period of the grant, which is 27 months. Therefore, beginning with the FY24 Title IV, Part A award, DESE will shift the data collection schedule to account for this requirement. As such, the next Title IVA data collection will occur in Fall 2025.

• SY22-23 Title IVA outcome data

• SY21-22 Title IVA outcome data

• SY20-21 Title IVA outcome data
