Funds under Title IV are allocated to develop, implement and evaluate comprehensive programs and activities that foster safe, healthy, supportive and drug-free environments to promote student academic achievement.

Navigate360 offers a proven digital student mental health and social-emotional learning program that is backed by research. Our curriculum includes but is not limited to:

Character development and social-emotional learning for students.
Intervention and restorative justice for students who exhibit challenging behaviors.
Support programming for parents and caregivers to equip them to be the school’s ally and to continue conversations about topics at home.

Title IV funds are formula grants awarded to school districts for activities that support safe and healthy students. Congress has stipulated that at least 20% of a district’s Title IV funds must go toward safe and healthy schools, and 60% can be used to provide a well-rounded education, support effective use of technology or support safe and healthy schools. This means if a district is looking to implement solutions to prevent school violence, up to 80% of Title IV funds can be used for these purposes.

Allowable uses for Title IV funds include:

  • School-based mental health services, including early identification of mental health symptoms, drug use and/or violence
  • Training for school personnel related to suicide prevention, crisis management and conflict resolution techniques; school-based violence prevention strategies; drug abuse prevention; and bullying and harassment prevention
  • Mentoring and school counseling to all students, including children who are at risk of academic failure, dropping out of school, criminal or delinquent activities, or drug use/abuse
  • Technologies that monitor learning platforms and alert schools about students whose communications indicate that they are in crisis
  • Student support and academic achievement by promoting school climates that reduce the use of exclusionary discipline and advocate supportive school discipline
  • Developing relationship-building skills to help improve safety through the recognition and prevention of coercion, violence or abuse
