In addition, the funds can be used to promote and/or advertise the programs among the local community.

K-12 Plus Program Grant (K12+)
The purpose of the K-12 Plus Program (K12+) is to positively impact student achievement in math and language arts, graduation rates, and even attendance. All school districts are eligible to apply. Initial priority will be for districts and schools that are currently not participating in either the K-5 Plus Program (K5+) or the Extended Learning Time Program (ELTP) in school year 2021-22. The goal is to move towards full participation in either one or both programs in future years. This will be accomplished by allowing districts to apply for a modified or innovative program model for school year 2022-23.
