The U.S. Department of Education announced $63 million in new five-year Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) grants to support 42 local educational agencies, non-profits, and other public or private organizations and institutions of higher education.
Those locations include Alabama, Alaska, Louisiana, Maryland, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Puerto Rico.
“Meeting the needs of the whole child is essential to help America’s students grow academically and improve their well-being,” officials said in a news release. This includes services such as high-quality tutoring, health, mental health and nutrition services, and high-quality early learning programs, among others, for students and the community.
He continued: “This work continues today because we know that students learn best when there is a comprehensive and holistic approach to meeting their needs. This year’s grant competition received the largest number of applications in the program’s history, which officials said showed how important it is to have a support system in place to address students’ social, emotional, and mental health needs.
The administration said it would further demonstrate the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to providing a high-quality education for all students.
