Can we use Title IV-A funds for LiveSchool?

Yes. Title IV-A is a federal block grant under ESSA, funded at $1.4 billion nationally for FY26. Every district gets an allocation, and at the school level it is often more flexible than other Title programs.

LiveSchool fits under three of its content areas:

• Section 4108 (Safe and Healthy Students): the strongest fit. It funds positive behavior, school climate, social-emotional learning and supportive discipline. PBIS is named in the statute.
• Section 4109 (Effective Use of Technology): a fit when you frame LiveSchool as technology for classroom management and student engagement.
• Section 4107 (Well-Rounded Education): less direct, but LiveSchool can support school-wide engagement programs.

Ask your Federal Programs Coordinator: "Can Title IV-A funds be allocated to support our LiveSchool subscription? PBIS programs are explicitly named under Section 4108."
