State grant - B (611)

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $108,155,688 to the Department of Education Indiana on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education Grants to States program (CFDA 84.027). The award funds the provision of special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 across Indiana. Performance runs through September 30, 2027, with administrative oversight at Indianapolis, Indiana.

The Department of Education Indiana, which does business as the Superintendent of Public Instruction, receives this formula grant as the state educational agency responsible for administering Indiana's special education programs. The department sets aside funds for state-level administration and activities, then distributes subgrants to eligible local educational agencies, which apply through the state for funding. The program serves all children with disabilities within the state's jurisdiction, with eligibility determined under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Section 612. States and subgrantees must retain records related to grant funds and compliance for three years from the date of the final expenditure report.

This is a formula grant, a classification of assistance based on statutory or regulatory criteria rather than competitive application. The assistance type is State Grant - B, carrying the standard federal audit, reporting, and records-retention requirements for state-administered programs under EDGAR.
