The District of Columbia Government, through its DC State Education Office, was awarded a $17,500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (CFDA 84.370). This grant, with an award date of October 1, 2024 and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027, aims to provide low-income parents in Washington, D.C. with expanded educational options for their children. The funded services include academic instruction, professional development, special education support, after-school programs, student nutrition services, and targeted interventions to enhance educational outcomes for low-income families. The grant program frequently involves sub-awards to local agencies, public charter schools, and community organizations like Friendship Public Charter School and KIPP DC to directly implement these educational services and support programs.
