Georgia school districts receive federal funds

Georgia school districts will receive over $145.5 million in federal funding after a recommendation by State School Superintendent Richard Woods and a vote by the State Board of Education. These allocations were released by the U.S. Department of Education (USED) and include all previously delayed federal funding through several different  achievement grant programs. 

The vote came as soon as Grant Award Notifications were received from USED, to ensure funds were distributed to school districts as quickly and efficiently as possible, Woods said.
