The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) a $4,936,168 Formula Grant 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 Mississippi's K-12 public education system, with the performance period running from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. As the state education agency, MDE uses this funding to establish and maintain comprehensive assessment systems that measure student achievement, align with academic standards, and comply with federal education requirements. MDE often sub-awards portions of the grant to local school districts, universities, and community organizations to implement assessment-related activities across Mississippi.
