Title i part a basic grants to leas

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $137.326 million to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, doing business as the Department of Education, on July 1, 2026, under the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.010).

The award funds support for teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, with focus on children failing or most at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic standards. The Superintendent of Public Instruction, Washington's primary educational agency, distributes these funds as formula-based sub-awards to local educational agencies and schools across the state. Awards are made through four statutory formulas based primarily on Census Bureau estimates of low-income children by LEA and state per-pupil expenditures.

The period of performance extends from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Olympia, Washington. Funds remain available for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure under section 421(b) of the General Education Provisions Act, subject to carryover limitations. Non-federal entities expending $750,000 or more in federal awards are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F. Program records must be maintained for three years.
