Georgia Department of Education administers the funds to improve student academic achievement by expanding capacity of local educational agencies and schools to provide well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and enhance use of technology for academic achievement and digital literacy. The program operates through formula allocation to local educational agencies, with the state agency required to reserve at least 95 percent for subgrants to LEAs and not more than 1 percent for administrative costs. LEAs receiving allocations of $30,000 or more must conduct comprehensive needs assessments and allocate not less than 20 percent of funds to well-rounded educational opportunities, not less than 20 percent to safe and healthy students, and a portion to effective technology use. LEAs receiving less than $30,000 must use funds in at least one of these three areas.

The award period runs from July 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. Place of performance is Atlanta, Georgia. All subgrants to LEAs must be for one year and in amounts of not less than $10,000.
