Title I part a basic grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $21.713 million to the Education & Early Development Alaska DEP (Administrative Services Division) on July 1, 2026, under Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010), a formula grant program designed to help local educational agencies improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools for children failing or at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards.

Education & Early Development Alaska DEP serves as Alaska's state education agency and administers Title I funding to local educational agencies and schools across the state, including rural and Native Alaskan communities. The award obligates $21.713 million for the period July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Juneau, Alaska. Under the program structure, the Department of Education makes grants through state education agencies to LEAs using four statutory formulas based primarily on Census Bureau estimates of the number of children from low-income families and state per pupil expenditures. The recipient passes through funds to local educational agencies and Indian tribal schools as subgrantees. Awards to state education agencies are made on July 1 and October 1 of the following fiscal year, with funds remaining available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure subject to carryover limitations.
