Formula Grant S424A230035

The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction was awarded a $6,659,535 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants program (CFDA 84.424). This funding will be used to improve student academic achievement by increasing the capacity of the state, local educational agencies, schools, and local communities to: (1) provide all students with access to a well-rounded education; (2) improve school conditions for student learning; and (3) improve the use of technology to improve the academic achievement and digital literacy of all students.

As the prime grantee, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction will subaward portions of this funding to local school districts and other educational entities throughout the state. Key sub-grantees include Sole Public School, Wahpeton Public School District, Valley City Public School, Mckenzie County School District 1, West Fargo Public Schools, Warwick School District 29, Fort Yates School District 4, and others. These sub-recipients will use the funds to provide supplemental academic support and enrichment services, teacher professional development, technology upgrades, student mental health initiatives, school meal programs, and other activities to enhance student learning and school climate across North Dakota.
