The Community Funding Accelerator (CFA) announced today that all three states it recently supported with applications won U.S. Department of Education grants, resulting in up to $153 million to support hundreds of thousands of students learning to read more effectively.
Earlier this month, Massachusetts, Nebraska, and Ohio each won a Comprehensive Literacy State Development grant, with possible total awards ranging from $38 million to $60 million over five years depending on appropriations from Congress and grantee progress. The funding comes at a critical time as states move to implement practices backed by the science of reading just as COVID-related federal funding is running out. Read the full press release here.
