The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) is providing LEAs with an ESTIMATE of FY 2026 preliminary allocations for Title II and Title III. RIDE has NOT received these allocations from the US Department of Education (ED). Using the best available information, we have calculated FY 2026 estimated Title II and III allocations to help LEAs complete their FY 2026 ESSA consolidated application. We understand the challenges of completing the application by the July 1st deadline with incomplete information. Our hope is that these estimates will assist in completing the application by the deadline.
Your estimated FY 2026 allocations for these programs have been uploaded into AcceleGrants 2.0 (AG2) today; we will update these amounts in AG2 as soon as we receive the actual preliminary allocations for FY 2026 from ED. It is likely your FY26 preliminary allocations from ED will be different than the estimates we’re loading into AG2.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we continue to manage through this uncertainty.
