Migrant education

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $678,332 to the Vermont State Agency of Education on July 1, 2026, under the Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011). The grant funds activities to assist Vermont in ensuring that migratory children meet the same challenging state content and performance standards expected of all children. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with work performed in Montpelier, Vermont. Vermont State Agency of Education receives the award as the state educational agency and administers the grant by working closely with local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and public and nonprofit private agencies that serve migratory children throughout the state. The assistance type is a formula grant. Awards under this program are issued for twelve-month periods; unspent funds may carry over into the next fiscal year. As a state entity, Vermont State Agency of Education is subject to single or program-specific audit requirements if it expends $750,000 or more in federal awards during the year, and program records must be maintained for at least three years.
