21ST century community learning centers program

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Utah State Board of Education $7.075 million under the Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program (CFDA 84.287) on July 1, 2026.

The Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers program funds community learning centers that provide academic enrichment for children, particularly students attending high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program supports activities designed to help students meet state and local academic achievement standards in core subjects such as reading and math, offers enrichment activities that complement regular academic programs, and provides literacy and educational services to families of participating children.

The Utah State Board of Education, a state educational agency, receives this formula award and distributes subgrants to local educational agencies, community-based organizations, and other public or private entities within Utah. The award covers the period of performance from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Salt Lake City, Utah. Award funds obligated total $7.075 million. As a recipient of $500,000 or more in federal education funding within the state fiscal year, the Utah State Board of Education is subject to audit requirements under EDGAR and must maintain records related to grant funds, compliance, and performance for three years after completion.
