American Digital Education Launches $1 Million Grant Program for California K-12 Schools
American Digital Education (ADE) has launched a $1 million grant program to support the implementation of its digital learning platform in California's public schools. The initiative will provide grants ranging from $10,000 to $200,000 for school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools that are not current ADE customers. These funds aim to facilitate student access, teacher training, and implementation support. The program is designed to address California's ongoing challenge with chronic absenteeism, which stood at 19.4% in the 2024-25 school year—7 percentage points above pre-pandemic levels. ADE offers features tailored for Attendance Recovery programs as well as independent study options and reteaching tools powered by deterministic AI. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds are allocated. Each grant must serve at least 300 students and requires a matching contribution from the recipient district.
