The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $385,390 Project Grant to the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDOE) on December 18, 2024. The grant is funded through the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program (CFDA 84.424), which aims to improve academic achievement by increasing the capacity of states, local educational agencies, schools, and communities to provide comprehensive educational opportunities. The grant will support SCDOE's "KNOW YOUR ABCDS: ABSENTEEISM, BULLYING AND COLLECTING DATA (ABCD)" initiative, which focuses on addressing student absenteeism and bullying while improving data collection efforts. As the state education agency, SCDOE will use the grant funds to implement programs and services that provide students access to a well-rounded education, improve school conditions for student learning, and enhance the use of technology to boost academic achievement and digital literacy across South Carolina.
