Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education $1.86 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education Grants to States program (CFDA 84.027), a formula grant that provides funding to states to assist in delivering special education and related services to children with disabilities.

The award obligates $1,860,051 through September 30, 2027, and supports Missouri's compliance with the requirement to serve all children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, operating from Jefferson City, receives the award as the state educational agency and will make subgrants to eligible local educational agencies after setting aside funds for administration and state-level activities. States and subgrantees must retain records related to grant funds and compliance for three years from the date the final expenditure report is submitted.
