Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Georgia Department of Education $2.872 million on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education Grants to States program (CFDA 84.027), a formula grant providing funds to assist states in meeting excess costs of special education and related services for children with disabilities ages 3 through 21.

The award supports Georgia's administration and delivery of special education services statewide. The Georgia Department of Education, operating as a Regional Educational Service Agency, typically administers these grants through sub-awards to local educational agencies and charter schools across the state, enabling targeted support for students with disabilities in compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

The obligated amount is $2.872 million, with performance occurring in Atlanta, Georgia. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027. States receiving awards under this program must serve all eligible children with disabilities and may set aside funds for state-level administration and activities before issuing subgrants to local educational agencies.
