The Commonwealth of Virginia received a $8.29 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 federal grant program (CFDA 84.369). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The funding will support the Commonwealth's costs of developing standards and assessments as required under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Specifically, Virginia will use the grant funds to pay for administering high-quality assessments once standards have been established, as well as developing the standards themselves. The sub-awardee, the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education, will oversee delivery of these assessment and standard-setting products and services using the $8.29 million in federal grant monies.
