This Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services provides $2,390,819 to the Nebraska Department of Education to support early childhood special education services under the Special Education Preschool Grants (CFDA 84.173) program. The grant period is from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. Funds are used to assist the State in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5, as well as potentially 2-year-olds who will reach age 3 during the grant period.
A portion of the funding is distributed through sub-awards to various Educational Service Units and school districts across the state to support early childhood multi-tiered systems of support facilitation. Sub-awardees include ESUs 1, 3, 6, 10 and 13 as well as several Nebraska school districts, such as Grand Island Public Schools and Omaha Public Schools. The funding helps ensure eligible preschool-aged children with disabilities have access to early intervention services to meet their unique needs.
