Our Texas ACE sites currently include Sambrano, Alarcon and Borrego elementary schools, as well as Garcia-Enriquez middle school in the San Elizario Independent School District. . The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) program is authorized by Title IV, Part B of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. The Texas 21st CCLC program operates as the Texas Afterschool Centers on Education, or Texas ACE. Texas ACE creates community learning centers that provide opportunities during non-school hours, particularly for students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools and their families, for students to participate in supplemental academic and enrichment activities that help students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities to reinforce and complement the regular academic program, and offers families of participating students opportunities for meaningful engagement in their children’s education, including opportunities for literacy and related educational development.
