The South Dakota Department of Education received a $6,515,398 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to fund the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CFDA 84.287) program. This program provides academic enrichment opportunities, particularly for students attending high-poverty and low-performing schools, through the establishment and expansion of community learning centers that offer a range of educational and developmental services outside of regular school hours.
The Department of Education awarded over $6.5 million to support the 21st CCLC program in South Dakota, with the funding period running from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The Department of Education sub-awarded portions of the grant to various local educational agencies, school districts, and community organizations throughout South Dakota to implement the program at the local level. These sub-awardees, which include entities like the Chamberlain School District, Sioux Falls School District, Enemy Swim Day School, and several Boys & Girls Clubs, will use the funding to provide tutoring, mentoring, homework assistance, academic enrichment, and extracurricular activities in areas such as music, arts, sports, and culture.
