Formula Grant S369A230023

The Michigan Department of Education received a $9,063,856 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The grant funding, provided under the Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program (CFDA 84.369), will support the state's development and administration of academic assessments required under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Specifically, the grant will enable the Michigan Department of Education to pay for costs associated with establishing rigorous academic standards and high-quality assessments across the state. Once the standards and assessments are in place, the funding can also be used to cover the ongoing administrative expenses of administering those assessments.
