Individuals with disabilities education act/ 2026 supplement

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Utah State Board of Education $171,086 on July 1, 2026, under the Special Education Preschool Grants program (CFDA 84.173). The award provides funding to assist Utah in delivering special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 5 years, and at the State's discretion, to 2-year-old children with disabilities who will reach age three during the school year. The Utah State Board of Education, as the state recipient, receives the grant award and makes subgrants to eligible local educational agencies after setting aside funds for state administration and state-level activities. The funding period runs through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is a formula grant; states qualify for funding by submitting approvable applications under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, section 612, and by making a free appropriate public education available to all eligible children with disabilities ages three through five residing in the state.
