Migrant education

The Ohio Department of Education received a Formula Grant award of $969,403 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 funded services include supplemental instruction, academic support, English language development, school readiness programs, and career and technical education initiatives delivered at the state and local levels.

Ohio Department of Education distributed sub-awards to six educational service centers and school districts across the state—Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center, Tecumseh Local School District, North Point Educational Service Center (Erie-Ottawa Educational Service), Stark County Educational Service Center, Willard City School District, and Putnam County Educational Service Center—to deliver Title I-C Migrant education services. These sub-recipients provide direct educational support and services to migratory students in their respective regions, with emphasis on interstate and intrastate coordination, educational continuity through timely transfer of school records, and integration of migrant education services with other local, state, and federal educational programs.
