Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Nevada Department of Education received a $12,033,714 formula grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program (CFDA 84.424), effective July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. This formula grant supports the state's capacity to deliver comprehensive educational services across three primary service categories: providing students access to well-rounded education, improving school conditions for student learning, and enhancing technology utilization to advance academic achievement and digital literacy. The funding flows through the Nevada Department of Education as the pass-through entity to 17 local school districts throughout Nevada, including the large Clark County School District ($9.1 million) and Washoe County School District ($854,186), as well as smaller rural districts such as Esmeralda, Storey, Lincoln, White Pine, and other county-level educational agencies.

The sub-awards to Nevada's local educational agencies support Title IVA Academic Achievement initiatives, with funding allocated to support academic enrichment programs, professional development for educators, school safety initiatives, and mental health support services. Award amounts to individual districts vary significantly based on formula calculations, ranging from approximately $10,006 to $9.1 million. Several sub-awards were subject to downward revisions between May and December 2025, reflecting adjustments to allocations. All sub-grantees are required to maintain program records for three years and comply with federal audit requirements under the Uniform Guidance and Education Department General Administrative Regulations.
