The Michigan Department of Education received a $13,783,294 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services to administer the Special Education Preschool Grants (CFDA 84.173) program. This grant funding supports the provision of special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 years across the state.

The sub-awardees include organizations such as Oakland Schools, Clinton County Regional Educational Service Agency, High Scope Educational Research Foundation, and over a dozen other regional education service providers throughout Michigan.
