Description
The Vermont Agency of Education’s Consolidated Federal Programs (CFP) Grant brings certain federal education funds together in one application under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The framework reduces administrative burden and increases flexibility to braid and blend funding sources. It supports local education agencies (LEAs) in improving academic achievement for disadvantaged students, strengthening instruction, supporting English language acquisition and academic achievement, providing student support and academic enrichment, and addressing rural education needs.
The agency’s Grants Team assists LEAs with applications, grant terms and conditions, and effective use of grant investments. The framework also provides options for transfers, waiver requests, and consolidation of funds, alongside equitable services obligations for independent schools.
