Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Hawaii State Department of Education received a Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011) award of $3.38 million from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Under this formula grant, HIDOE delivers 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 encompass supplemental instruction, academic support, English language development, school readiness programs, and career and technical education initiatives.

As the primary state educational agency recipient, HIDOE functions as a pass-through entity, distributing grant funds to local educational agencies, school districts, educational service centers, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations across Hawaii. The program emphasizes interstate and intrastate coordination of services, educational continuity through timely transfer of school records, and integration of migrant education services with other local, state, and federal educational programs. HIDOE is required to maintain program records for a minimum of three years and submit to federal audits if annual federal expenditures exceed $750,000, in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards).
