Title I part a basic grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Security awarded the Nevada Department of Education $59.546 million on July 1, 2026, under Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.010), a formula grant program designed to help local educational agencies improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, particularly for children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards.

The award funds support activities delivered to local educational agencies and schools throughout Nevada, with performance based in Carson City, Nevada. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027. Nevada Department of Education functions as the state educational agency recipient and administrator, distributing the award as sub-awards to local school districts and educational organizations across the state to support core K-12 educational services aligned with Title I priorities in high-poverty schools. Federal statute requires that awards generally be made on July 1 and remain available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure, subject to carryover limitations. The award is structured as a formula grant calculated primarily on Census Bureau estimates of low-income children in each local educational agency and state per-pupil expenditures.
