Utah State Board of Education (USBE) Intergenerational Poverty (IGP) Work Group Report
Utah State Board of Education
The Utah State Board (USBE) intergenerational poverty (IGP) grant funding focuses on high quality afterschool programming and academics, including intentional math and reading interventions. The Department of Workforce Services (DWS) Office of Child Care (OCC) may provide supplemental funding for enrichment and prevention education activities to USBE IGP grantees serving elementary-age students. The purpose of the USBE IGP Grant program is to provide out of school education services that assist students affected by intergenerational poverty in achieving academic success in partnerships with state agencies. IGP funds can support a wide range of activities to advance student academic achievement and support student success. In many cases, although programs and services were available, students affected by IGP may not have been accessing them. Although challenging, recruiting efforts may be needed to overcome the relatively low participation of students affected by IGP. The need for available and high-quality program data was evident. Data needs should be carefully considered and identified at the start of any grant program. It is recommended that program specialists work with data experts to determine how data will be collected, stored, and utilized. It will be important not to overlook promising programs due to a lack of student-level participation data. Future studies should likely focus on identifying and strengthening programs that show evidence of closing the achievement gap.
