State grant - B preschool (619)

The Federal Formula Grant award of $25,698,103 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services supports the Special Education Preschool Grants program (CFDA 84.173). This program provides funding to state education agencies to deliver comprehensive special education and related services for children with disabilities aged 3 through 5 years, with optional services for 2-year-olds transitioning to age 3. The grant enables the Texas Education Agency, as the primary recipient, to distribute sub-awards to local school districts, intermediate educational units, charter schools, and other regional educational organizations in Texas. These sub-awards fund a wide range of educational interventions, including specialized instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, assistive technology, and individualized support services to prepare young children with disabilities for successful transitions into kindergarten and future academic environments.
