Migrant education

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $35.969 million to the Superintendent of Public Instruction (doing business as the Department of Education) on July 1, 2026, under the Migrant Education State Grant Program (CFDA 84.011). The award runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Olympia, Washington.

The program funds support Washington state's efforts to ensure migratory children have the opportunity to meet the same challenging state content and performance standards as all children. The Superintendent of Public Instruction, as the state educational agency, works closely with local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and public and nonprofit private agencies that serve migratory children. Formula grant awards are distributed to these partners as sub-awards to deliver direct educational services. Program records must be maintained for three years or longer depending on applicable exceptions. Non-federal entities expending $750,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements.
