Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction $1,699,804 under the Special Education Grants to States (CFDA 84.027) formula grant program on July 1, 2026. The award funds Wisconsin's provision of special education and related services to children with disabilities aged 3 through 21. The grant obligates $1,699,804 for the period July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin DPI, as the State educational agency, receives the award and distributes subgrants to local educational agencies and school districts across the state after setting aside funds for state-level administration and activities. The Special Education Grants to States program provides formula funding to assist States in meeting the excess costs of special education services; States must serve all eligible children with disabilities to receive full funding and cannot receive base payment for the 3–5 age group if they fail to provide free appropriate public education (FAPE) to that cohort.
