Formula Grant S010A260023

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Minnesota Department of Education $76,756,853 on July 1, 2026, under the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.010). The award funds improvements to 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 performance period runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance at Lauderdale, Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Education, as the state educational agency (SEA), receives and distributes these formula-allocated funds to local educational agencies (LEAs) and Indian tribal schools as subgrantees. The formula allocation methodology is based on Census Bureau estimates of the number of children from low-income families in each LEA and state per-pupil expenditures, as established by the Department of Education. Recipients must maintain program records for three years and are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements if federal awards expended exceed $750,000 in a given year. Funds not obligated by the end of the award period remain available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure under the General Education Provisions Act, subject to carryover limitations.
