Federal Grant Award Summary

The Idaho State Board of Education, doing business as the Idaho State Department of Education, received a $10.8 million formula grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program (CFDA 84.367) for the performance period of July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This program is designed to improve teacher and principal quality and enhance student academic achievement across the state by providing funding for the development, implementation, and evaluation of professional development and educational training initiatives aligned with Idaho's state academic standards.

As the State Educational Agency, Idaho's Department of Education serves as the intermediary distributor of these funds, sub-awarding resources to local educational agencies, school districts, and charter schools throughout the state. The grant supports comprehensive educator improvement activities, including professional development for teachers and school leaders, strategic initiatives to enhance educator effectiveness and skills, and programs designed to increase student academic achievement consistent with challenging state standards. Sub-awardees utilize the funding to deliver targeted professional development and training services that directly impact classroom instruction and educational outcomes across Idaho's K-12 public education system.
