The State of New Mexico Public Education Department received a $9.6 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers federal grant program (CFDA #84.287). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.

The Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program aims to establish or expand community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for students, especially those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. Under this award, the State of New Mexico Public Education Department will support afterschool programs that provide such academic enrichment activities to students in Pojoaque, New Mexico through September 2022. The funding will allow approximately $9.6 million to be used for academic instruction, tutoring, mentoring, and other services focused on helping students meet state and local standards in core subjects like reading and math.
