The Connecticut Department of Education (CDE) received a $5,398,783 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services to fund the Special Education Preschool Grants (CFDA 84.173) program. This program provides grants to states to assist in providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 years.
Through this Formula Grant award, CDE sub-grants funding to local education agencies (LEAs) in Connecticut to deliver early intervention and special education services for preschool-aged children with disabilities. Key services supported include identification, assessment, and provision of specialized instruction, therapies, and supports to help these children develop critical skills and prepare for transition to elementary school. CDE coordinates the distribution of these federal funds to LEAs such as Town of Enfield And Enfield Board of Education, Town of Mansfield, Wallingford Town Of, Waterbury School District, and others to ensure implementation of the IDEA Part B 619 program across the state.
