English language acquisition: state formula grant program

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $5.234675 million to the Kansas State Department of Education on July 1, 2026, under the English Language Acquisition State Grants program (CFDA 84.365) to support English learner and immigrant student achievement in Kansas.

The award funds activities designed to help English learners attain English proficiency and meet state academic standards, with enhanced instructional opportunities for immigrant children and youth. KSDE, as the state educational agency, must expend at least 95 percent of the allotment to award subgrants to local educational agencies and other eligible entities to meet the educational needs of English learners and immigrant students across the state.

Performance extends through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Topeka, Kansas. The funding formula allocation reflects the number of immigrant and English learner students in Kansas. KSDE maintains a right-of-appeal mechanism for local educational agencies that dispute funding decisions, and all grantees remain subject to Single Audit Act provisions and EDGAR record-keeping requirements under 2 CFR 200.
