Migrant Education State Grant Award Summary

The Board of Education Colorado received a formula grant award of $7,086,995 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011), effective July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. This award supports comprehensive educational services designed to ensure that children of migratory agricultural workers and fishers have equitable access to challenging state academic content and performance standards. The program funds supplemental instruction, academic support, English language development, school readiness programs, and career and technical education initiatives delivered at both state and local levels.

As the primary pass-through entity, the Board of Education Colorado distributes these funds to local educational agencies, school districts, educational service centers, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado. Sub-award recipients include Aurora Public Schools, Centennial Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), Mesa County Valley School District 51, and Adams State University. These sub-awardees deliver targeted migrant education services while coordinating with other federal, state, and local educational programs to address the unique needs of migratory children, including preschool-age children and school dropouts. The award requires compliance with 2 CFR 200 regulations, maintenance of program records for a minimum of three years, and single or program-specific audits for entities expending $750,000 or more in federal awards annually.
