Title i part a basic grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $967.888 million to the Department of Education California on July 1, 2026, under Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.010).

The recipient, the Department of Education California's Fiscal and Administrative Services Division, distributes funds to local educational agencies, school districts, county offices of education, and community organizations across the state to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, with particular focus on children failing or most at-risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards. The award is structured as a formula grant based on Census Bureau estimates of low-income children and state per-pupil expenditures. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Sacramento, California. The Department of Education establishes procedures for LEA plan submission and required documentation; if an LEA's plan is disapproved by the state educational agency, the LEA may appeal to the state agency and then to the Department of Education under Section 432 of the General Education Provisions Act. State educational agencies and LEAs must maintain program records for three years. Funds remaining available to LEAs carry over for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure, subject to carryover limitations.
