The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $6,515,398 Formula Grant to the South Dakota Department of Education (Deca) under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program (CFDA 84.287). This grant provides funding for communities to establish or expand after-school and summer learning activities that offer academic enrichment for students, particularly those attending high-poverty and low-performing schools.
As the prime awardee, Deca administered the grant funds to deliver a range of services through sub-awards to local non-profit organizations and school districts across South Dakota. Key sub-awardees included Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCAs, and other educational entities that provided after-school programs, mentoring, STEM education, school nutrition support, and other developmental activities for youth. The funding enabled these local providers to expand access to academic enrichment, health/wellness programs, and positive youth development opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged students.
