Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded $3,533,824 to the Pennsylvania Department of Education on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education Grants to States program (CFDA 84.027), a formula grant supporting special education and related services for children with disabilities ages three through twenty-one. The award obligates $3,533,824 with a period of performance through September 30, 2027, and work is performed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania receives this allocation as a state educational agency eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and will distribute sub-awards to local educational agencies, intermediate units, and other qualifying entities throughout the Commonwealth after setting aside funds for state administration and state-level activities. The program's purpose is to assist states in meeting the excess costs of providing special education and related services to all children with disabilities; states must serve children ages three through twenty-one unless inconsistent with state law or court order.
