Military-connected local educational agencies for academic and support programs (mcasp)

The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Competitive Grants: Promoting K-12 Student Achievement at Military-Connected Schools (CFDA 12.556) program to the Silver Valley Unified School District in Yermo, CA. The grant, with a performance period from September 30, 2024, to May 31, 2029, will support the district's Military-Connected Local Educational Agencies for Academic and Support Programs (MCASP) initiative. The funding will enable the district to develop and implement comprehensive educational programs tailored to the unique needs of its predominantly military-connected student population, including curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling, enrichment activities, educator training, and technology integration. The grant aims to close achievement gaps and provide consistent learning experiences for highly mobile K-12 students from military families.
