Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the New Jersey Department of Education $2.942 million under the Special Education Grants to States program on July 1, 2026. This formula grant provides resources to assist New Jersey in meeting the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 21. The award carries a period of performance through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. As the state-level recipient under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the New Jersey Department of Education administers this funding and distributes subgrants to eligible local educational agencies, which deliver direct special education and related services to students with disabilities across the state. The state retains portions for administration and state-level activities before passing funds through to local recipients.
