2022 amounts as of March 29, 2024; 2025 amounts as of March 11, 2026.
Priority: on CDE's 2022 allocations and not on its 2025 grant list. The 2026 law (Education Code 49507) gives these agencies first priority in 2026.
A charter school that reorganized since a round may be listed under an older charter number.
Also in CDE's KIT files, but matching no school district, county office or charter school in CDE's directory today: agencies that serve school meals, or schools and districts that closed or changed numbers.
