English language acquisition: state formula grant program

The Oregon Department of Education received a $8,117,636 formula grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the English Language Acquisition State Grants program (CFDA 84.365). This grant aims to help ensure that English learners, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency and meet challenging state academic standards.

As the prime grantee, the Oregon Department of Education is administering this grant by passing through subawards to local school districts, education service districts, and other eligible entities in the state to deliver English language acquisition services. Subrecipients like Beaverton School District, Tigard-Tualatin School District, and Salem-Keizer School District are using the funding to provide English language instruction, academic enrichment programs, educator professional development, and other supports for English learner students. These subawards enable the subrecipients to carry out activities aligned with the federal grant program objectives.
