Please continue to evaluate courses and sections in your local SIS for the 2022-23 Postsecondary Data collection. Administrators should plan to review Accountability > Coursework in January to ensure grades are displaying as expected for postsecondary credit. Please note that OSDE is not using coursework grades for any grade level under 9th grade. If your district is not currently sending section marks for PK-8th grade, no action is required.

Building Safe and Healthy Oklahoma School Communities
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) was awarded $11,776,526 in Federal K-12 funding from the U.S. Department of Education under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) Stronger Connections grant program.

LEAs that can provide evidence of high need and a transparent plan for implementation of safe and healthy school activities, as allowable under section 4108 of the ESEA, to support the ongoing needs of students, educators, families, and communities are encouraged to apply.
Grants of up to $350,000 per district will be awarded.
The application will be released Monday, Dec. 5. Look for the application on the OSDE website or in next week's Administrators Newsletter.
