The Department of Defense Education Activity awarded Long County Board of Education $1.25 million in project grant funding on September 30, 2025, under the World Language Advancement and Readiness Program (CFDA 12.556) to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of military-connected students through curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling services, and language immersion programs. The award runs through May 31, 2030, with performance in Ludowici, Georgia.
The DoDEA Educational Partnership Grant Program provides resources to local education agencies serving highly mobile military-connected students. Long County Board of Education qualifies because its participating schools maintain 10 percent or greater military-dependent student enrollment. Selection was based on peer review of the implementation plan, evaluation plan, needs assessment, goals and outcomes, and budget sustainability, with final award determinations made by DoDEA based on application scores, applicant risk assessment including performance history and implementation capacity, and fund availability.
