District of Columbia: Extent to Which Schools Receive Available Federal Education Grants

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed how well the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) have taken advantage of available federal education dollars, focusing on the: (1) federal education grant programs that are available to the District of Columbia; (2) status of efforts to fully optimize the ability to apply for or receive federal education grant programs by the District of Columbia; and (3) process for ensuring timely application for federal education grant programs and the office that is charged with ensuring the success and the efficiency of this process.
