The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) a $4,987,419 Formula Grant under the Grants for State Assessments and Related Activities program (CFDA 84.369). This funding supports the development, administration, and implementation of high-quality academic assessments for K-12 public education systems in Kansas.
The grant enables KSDE to establish and maintain a comprehensive assessment system that measures student achievement, aligns with academic standards, and complies with requirements outlined in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Specific activities funded through this award include implementing academic standards, creating aligned assessment tools, coordinating participation in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and disseminating assessment results. KSDE may sub-award portions of the grant to local educational agencies, school districts, universities, and community organizations to implement assessment-related activities across the state.
