State grant - B preschool (619)

The federal Formula Grant award of $4,257,895.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Special Education Preschool Grants program (CFDA 84.173). The grant funding supports comprehensive special education and related services for children with disabilities aged 3 through 5 years in the state of Oregon, with optional services for 2-year-olds transitioning to age 3.

Through sub-awards to local school districts, education service districts, and other regional educational organizations, the grant funds a wide range of educational interventions, including specialized instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, assistive technology, and individualized support services. These services are designed to prepare young children with disabilities for successful transitions into kindergarten and future academic environments across Oregon.
