Formula Grant S369A210011

The Georgia Department of Education received a $10.2 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to support the development and administration of state assessments and related activities under the Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program (CFDA 84.369). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. Funds will support Georgia's costs associated with developing and implementing the academic content and achievement standards and assessments required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Once standards and assessments are established, the state may also use grant funds to administer the assessments and report assessment results. The award will allow Georgia to meet its federal testing obligations while furthering the program's goal of improving teaching and learning.
