Title I part a basic grants to leas

This $1.22 billion formula grant was awarded by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education on July 1, 2021 for completion by September 30, 2022. The grant was provided under the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (Title I LEA Grants, CFDA #84.010) program to support local educational agency efforts to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, particularly for children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards.

Over 100 sub-awards were provided by the New York State Education Department to local school districts and charter schools across New York to serve educationally disadvantaged children and support district efforts to improve academic achievement. Sub-awards ranged from under $100,000 to over $100 million provided to large urban school districts. Services delivered through sub-awardees included supplemental educational, instructional, and curriculum services targeting disadvantaged students in addition to general district improvement efforts. Some sub-awards also supported services for neglected and delinquent youth. This grant aims to provide equitable educational resources to high-need communities through New York's K-12 public school system and participating charter schools.
