This document was crafted to illustrate the vertical alignment of Priority Performance Indicators in Dance and to emphasize the utilization of Prioritized Grade Level Standards in their creation. Identified by Vermont Dance Educators and Chicago Public Schools, these Prioritized Standards serve as crucial benchmarks for evaluation at every grade level. Schools are encouraged to adopt this work as-is; adapt this work to better suit the unique needs of their respective school communities; or use this work as a lens through which to evaluate their local work.

The 2024-2025 (FY25) 21CCLC grant competition received 12 applications totaling a request for $4,200,000 annually to fund up to 59 full comprehensive centers in Vermont’s neediest communities (See 21C RFP-pages 4-5). Approximately $3,200,000 was available for the FY25 competition, to be dispersed annually starting on July 1, 2024. This competition, like so many before, received high-quality proposals eligible for funding. Based on available federal funding, eight projects representing 46 sites will be funded. Fundable applications included 26 returning afterschool and summer sites and 18 newly funded sites. The proposed new sites have an average free and reduced lunch (FRL) rate of approximately 70% and returning sites have an average (FRL) rate of approximately 65% percent.
