This federal Formula Grant award, 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), will deliver $11,241,786.00 in funding to the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) from Jul 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026. The grant aims to ensure that children with disabilities aged 3 through 5 years, and optionally 2-year-olds transitioning to age 3, receive free appropriate public education through specialized instruction, therapeutic services, and individualized support. Typical services include specialized instruction, speech and language therapy, occupational and physical therapy, assistive technology, and other support designed to prepare young children with disabilities for successful transitions into kindergarten and future academic environments. As the state education agency, KDE will sub-award these formula grant funds to local school districts, intermediate educational units, charter schools, and other regional organizations across Kentucky to deliver these special education and related services at the local level.
