The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education received a $6.9 million formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The grant was awarded under the Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program (CFDA 84.369) and will support the development and administration of state academic standards and assessments from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Specifically, the funding will pay for Missouri to develop and implement high-quality academic standards and assessments as required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Once standards and initial assessments were established, this program also enables the use of funds to administer the assessments on an ongoing basis. The grant aims to support Missouri's compliance with federal K-12 academic testing requirements while implementing rigorous testing programs.
