The South Carolina Department of Education received a $6.2 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 under the Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program (CFDA 84.369). The funding, provided from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022, will allow the state education agency to pay costs associated with implementing the academic standards and assessments required under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Specifically, South Carolina will use the grant funds to develop high-quality assessments aligned to state standards, and to administer the assessments, once the standards and assessments are established as required by the program.
