Atlas Opportunity Score70/100
Funding$5,033,559,000 total available for FY 2026-27; recipient amounts are determined by the statutory per-unit allocation formula based on FY 2025-26 P-2 TK-12 ADA
DeadlineNo competitive application deadline identified in the current CDE FY 2026-27 update. CDE expects 75% of allocations to be apportioned in October 2026 and 25% in February 2027; expenditure deadline June 30, 2032; final expenditure report due September 30, 2032
Required next actionCDE posted the FY 2026-27 Schedule of Allocations on September 21, 2026. Eligible LEAs should review their posted allocation, plan compliant use and reporting under the governing statute, and monitor CDE for the first apportionment, which is still listed as coming soon. Do not initiate new cold applicant outreach because this is formula allocation/apportionment funding rather than a competitive application. Evaluate any vendor role only from a verified LEA need, allowable use, and local procurement process.
