The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction $21.293 million under Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010) on July 1, 2026. This formula grant supports improved teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, targeting children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards. The award period runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Bismarck, North Dakota. The Department of Education distributes Title I funds to state educational agencies using four statutory formulas based primarily on Census Bureau estimates of low-income children and state per-pupil expenditures. The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction, as the state education agency, receives the award and distributes Title I sub-awards to local educational agencies and Indian tribal schools throughout the state. LEAs may implement either targeted assistance programs serving children failing or most at risk of failing to meet state standards, or schoolwide programs serving all children in participating schools.
