The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) was awarded a $2,206,425 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Competitive Grants for State Assessments (CFDA 84.368) program. This 4-year grant, with a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028, will support KSDE's efforts to improve the quality, validity, and reliability of academic assessment instruments and systems used to measure student achievement in Kansas. The funding will enable KSDE to develop innovative assessment approaches that utilize multiple measurement techniques and comprehensive evaluation methods, with a focus on enhancing science assessments, supporting multilingual learners, implementing through-year assessment models, and creating more instructionally embedded evaluation systems. As a prime recipient, KSDE will strategically distribute sub-awards to local school districts, educational cooperatives, and community organizations to deliver these assessment improvement initiatives across the state.
