General Information

The California state budget, signed by the Governor in July 2022, includes a total of $20 million in funding for a competitive grant to create a Statewide Technical Assistance Center. Eligible applicants for this grant program are local education agencies (LEAs) with experience expertly advising and supporting program leaders in a large and widely diverse field of best practices, minimizing costs to program participants, developing sustainability plans, and disseminating information. The framework and technical assistance should leverage and build upon existing technical assistance offerings disseminated by local educational agencies, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, and foundations.
