The Maine Department of Education received a $2,766,436 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Special Education Preschool Grants (CFDA #84.173) program. This grant provides funding to state and local educational agencies to assist them in delivering special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5, and at the state's discretion, to 2-year-old children with disabilities who will reach age three during the school year. The Maine Department of Education is using this funding to provide grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) in Maine to support their provision of specialized instruction, services, and resources for preschool and young children with disabilities. Through sub-awards, the Maine Department of Education is distributing funds to over 25 LEAs across the state, including school districts, municipalities, and regional school units, to help them deliver special education and early intervention services tailored to the needs of children ages 2-5 with disabilities.
