Migrant education

The Utah State Board of Education received a $625,016 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011) for fiscal year 2026. The award, dated July 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, supports 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 grant funds comprehensive educational services including supplemental instruction, academic support, English language development, school readiness programs, and career and technical education initiatives.

As the state educational agency and pass-through entity, the Utah State Board of Education distributed funds to nine local educational agencies across Utah, including Nebo School District, Provo City School District, Millard County School District, Box Elder County School District, Piute County School District, Beaver County School District, Logan City School District, South Sanpete School District, Ogden City School District, and Sevier School District. These sub-awardees utilized the migrant education funding to deliver targeted educational services at the local level, with emphasis on identifying and addressing the unique educational needs of migratory children, promoting interstate and intrastate coordination of services, and ensuring educational continuity through timely transfer of school records.
