Formula Grant S010A260031

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the State of New Mexico Public Education Department $61.825 million on July 1, 2026, under Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs (CFDA 84.010), a formula grant program that funds local educational agencies 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.

The award is obligated through September 30, 2027, and is administered from Santa Fe, New Mexico. The State of New Mexico Public Education Department distributes these funds as a pass-through to local educational agencies and school districts across the state, which deliver targeted instructional services and academic interventions in high-poverty schools. The grant funds support both targeted assistance programs focused on at-risk students and schoolwide programs serving all children in eligible schools. Awards under this program are made via statutory formulas based primarily on Census Bureau estimates of children from low-income families and state per-pupil expenditures. State Education Agencies (SEAs) and LEAs must maintain program records for three years. Non-federal entities expending $750,000 or more in federal awards annually are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F.
