The Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE) was awarded a $1,776,531 federal Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Comprehensive Literacy Development (CFDA 84.371) program. The grant, titled "MASSACHUSETTS COMPREHENSIVE LITERACY STATE DEVELOPMENT (CLSD) PROGRAM: ADVANCING EQUITABLE LITERACY EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES FOR ALL STUDENTS," will fund evidence-based literacy practices, activities, and interventions targeting pre-literacy, reading, and writing skills for students from birth through grade 12, with a focus on disadvantaged populations such as those living in poverty, English learners, and children with disabilities. As the state education agency, DESE will manage the flow of these grant funds by issuing sub-awards to local educational agencies, non-profits, and other partners to directly deliver the literacy development initiatives across Massachusetts.
