Description
The Vermont Agency of Education administers the Consolidated Federal Programs (CFP) Grant under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). It brings certain federal education funds into a single application, reducing administrative burden and increasing flexibility in braiding and blending funds. The agency’s Grants Team helps local education agencies apply, meet grant terms and conditions, and achieve maximum benefit from their investments.
The programs address academic achievement for disadvantaged students, effective instruction, student support and academic enrichment, and prevention and intervention for children and youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk. Application resources also cover Title III, Part A and Title I school improvement activities. The agency provides guidance on allowable uses, needs assessment, evidence-based practices, transfers, waivers, and consolidation of funds.
