Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oklahoma State Department of Education received a $172,610 Formula Grant award 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 funding supports the state's efforts to ensure that children of migratory agricultural workers and fishers have equitable access to challenging academic content and performance standards aligned with state requirements.

Under this award, OSDE implements and coordinates a comprehensive range of educational services for migratory children, including supplemental instruction, academic support, English language development, school readiness programs, and career and technical education initiatives. As the state education agency, OSDE serves as the pass-through entity, distributing these funds to local educational agencies, school districts, and nonprofit organizations throughout Oklahoma to deliver direct services to migratory students. The program emphasizes interstate and intrastate coordination of services and educational continuity through timely transfer of school records, ensuring that migratory children's unique educational needs are identified and addressed through integrated state and local educational programs.
