The CDE Expanded Learning Division shared a message today to 21st CCLC and ASSETs Grantees with the information below. 

The California Department of Education (CDE) has received the Grant Award Notification (GAN) from the U.S. Department of Education for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC). This GAN was held in the Office of Management and Budget on June 30. CDE expected to receive the GAN on July 1. CDE received the GAN on July 18. This will cause a delay in sending GANs to all grantees. Issuing the GANs involves approval through many CDE Divisions. This will take over two months, as it does each year. The CDE is diligently working to create and disseminate the GANs.

Please begin 21st CCLC programming to avoid disruptions to our students’ services and to ensure your programs can meet attendance targets and expend the allocated funds.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as CDE works to navigate the disruption in the receipt of the GAN and the hardship the delay has created.
