The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Educational Partnership has awarded 44 grants to public schools throughout the nation through FY 09 Grant Program.
There were two categories of grants -- competitive and invitational. More than $41 million was awarded to 35 school districts in the competitive category and nearly $15,million was awarded to an additional nine school districts in the invitational category. A total of 284 schools within the 44 districts will receive grant funds and those schools serve over 77,000 military students. The amount of the awards is based on military student enrollment and range from $300,000 to $2,500,000, depending on the number of military students at the target schools.
“This is the first year DoDEA has been able to execute our grant program and it’s very gratifying to be able to offer assistance to the schools that are educating our military’s children.” said Dr. Shirley Miles, Director of DoDEA. “We are looking forward to seeing how the districts implement the programs they’ve developed. We know that all children in the grant recipient districts will benefit from these awards.”
DoDEA’s FY 2009 grant program focused on enhancing student learning opportunities, student achievement, and educator professional development at military-connected public schools.
