Formula Grant S369A240009

The District of Columbia Government, operating as the DC State Education Office, was awarded a $3,336,777 Formula Grant 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). This grant supports the development, administration, and implementation of high-quality academic assessments for K-12 public education in Washington, D.C. The funding enables the DC State Education Office to establish and maintain a comprehensive assessment system that measures student achievement, aligns with academic standards, and complies with the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The office frequently sub-grants portions of the award to the District of Columbia Public Schools, local charter schools, and community organizations to directly implement assessment-related activities, including developing standardized testing frameworks, creating aligned assessment tools, and supporting data collection and reporting initiatives across the city's education system.
