Migrant education

The U.S. Department of Education awarded a $1.948 million Formula Grant to the Minnesota Department of Education under the Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011) for the period of July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The grant aims to assist states in ensuring that migratory children have the opportunity to meet the same challenging state content and performance standards as other children.

Through sub-awards, the funding supports summer migrant education programs operated by seven school districts/organizations in Minnesota. These include Tri Valley Opportunity Council Inc., Monticello Public Schools, Glencoe-Silver Lake Schools, Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa Public Schools, IFD 84, Bold Elementary School, and Owatonna Public Schools. The sub-awards allow the organizations to provide supplemental education services to migratory children during the summer months.
