State grant - B (611)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Georgia Department of Education $144,518,876 under the Special Education Grants to States program (CFDA 84.027) on July 1, 2026. The award funds special education and related services delivered to children with disabilities aged 3 through 21 across Georgia, with the state serving as the intermediary that issues subgrants to local educational agencies after setting aside funds for administration and state-level activities. The funding obligated through September 30, 2027 flows through the state education agency at its Atlanta, Georgia office. Under the formula grant structure established by IDEA Section 612, Georgia qualifies for funding based on approved state application and must serve all eligible children with disabilities within the specified age range, though service to children aged 3 through 5 or 18 through 21 may be excluded where inconsistent with state law or court order.
