PRIORITY NOTICE: USED Announces Plans to Release Federal Education Funding

Dear Champions of Education,

On Friday, July 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education (USED) announced that it will begin releasing funding for the current federal and education fiscal year starting the week of July 28 for the following programs:

  *   Title I-C, ESEA: Migrant Student Education
  *   Title II-A, ESEA: Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants
  *   Title III-A, ESEA: English Language Acquisition
  *   Title IV-A, ESEA: Student Support and Academic Enrichment State Grants
  *   Title II, WIOA: Adult Basic and Literacy Education State Grants (including English Literacy and Civics Education State Grants)
In its email notifications about the plan to release these federal funds, USED added:

Grant Award Notifications (GAN) will include the following condition to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations:

"Grantees must not use federal funds under this project in any manner that violates the United States Constitution, Title VI or Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq. or 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.), Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794), the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.), Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. § 12131 et seq.), the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. § 7905), section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. § 1011f), or other applicable federal law. To the extent that a grantee uses grant funds for such unallowable activities, the Department intends to take appropriate enforcement action including under section 451 of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA), which may include the recovery of funds under section 452 of GEPA."

Acceptance of grant funds constitutes acceptance of all GAN conditions, including this one.

The Department also intends to conduct reviews of grantees' use of funds to ensure ongoing compliance with the above provisions and all other applicable laws and regulations.

The Maine Department of Education (DOE) does not have any additional information to share at this time but will be in touch, as we learn more.

Thank you.
