The Maine Department of Education received a $3.7 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education 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.
The purpose of this formula grant program is to support states' development and administration of high-quality academic standards and assessments as required under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. For this award, the Maine Department of Education will use the funds to pay costs associated with developing and administering the state's academic content standards and assessments, as the agency has already established the required standards and assessments and is now utilizing program funds to cover ongoing assessment administration expenses.
