The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded a $11,241,786 Formula Grant to the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) for the Special Education Preschool Grants program (CFDA 84.173). This 15-month grant, running from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will fund a comprehensive array of special education and related services for children with disabilities aged 3 through 5 years in Kentucky, with optional services for 2-year-olds transitioning to age 3. The grant will support specialized instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, assistive technology, and individualized support services designed to prepare young children with disabilities for successful transitions into kindergarten and future academic environments. As the state education agency, KDE will distribute sub-awards to local school districts, intermediate educational units, charter schools, and other regional educational organizations across Kentucky to deliver these critical early childhood special education services.
