Statewide System of Support (SSoS)

Michigan's Statewide System of Support (SSoS) provides services to Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) with schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), and Additional Targeted Support (ATS) under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).

The ESSA is aimed at increasing student outcomes and graduation rates using data and root cause analysis to determine areas of greatest need. After the root cause is identified, supports and services are designed, implemented, and monitored to assess their effectiveness in increasing graduation rates.

These efforts are funded in part through an ESSA-required Statewide reservation of Title I funds designated to support LEAs with schools identified for CSI, TSI, and ATS. In Michigan, these LEAs receive supports and services from the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) through its partner Intermediate School Districts (ISDs) and Education Service Agencies (ESAs).
