About the company
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), a U.S. state government agency headquartered in Springfield, Illinois, functions as the prime recipient of federal grants across K-12 education, child nutrition, special education, career technical education, and education research programs. ISBE operates exclusively as a grant recipient (579 total awards across the federal footprint, 100% prime; zero subcontract activity) and does not hold federal contracts or compete for contract vehicles. The agency is a child entity of the State of Illinois, Office of the Governor, and serves as the state educational agency with direct jurisdiction over Illinois's 850+ public school districts and administrative authority over all public K-12 education in the state.
ISBE's grant portfolio concentrates heavily on formula grants distributed to local educational agencies, school districts, and community-based organizations throughout Illinois. The top funding sources by award count are the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (259 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (157 awards across two separate lines), the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (53 awards), and the broader Department of Education (30 awards), together accounting for 86% of recent awards. Representative grant work includes a $1.96 million definitive contract (not formula grant) with the Institute of Education Sciences to serve as National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) State Coordinator for Illinois through March 2035; a $206.47 million Special Education Grants to States formula award (CFDA 84.027) for the period July 2026 through September 2027 distributing funds to local educational agencies serving children with disabilities; a $308.39 million Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies formula award (CFDA 84.010) providing instructional support to high-poverty schools; a $348.79 million National School Lunch Program formula award (CFDA 10.555) providing per-meal reimbursements to schools and child care institutions; a $639.63 million consolidated Child Nutrition Programs award (CFDA 10.555) for fiscal year 2025–26 supporting National School Lunch, School Breakfast, and Child and Adult Care Food Program reimbursements; and a $27.11 million Environmental Protection Agency Project Grant (CFDA 66.049, Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program) to replace 70 non-zero-emission school buses with zero-emission vehicles and install 70 fast-charging stations across Illinois.
Recent activity has held relatively steady, with 31 awards in 2022, 29 in 2023, 26 in 2024, 30 in 2025, and 16 in 2026 (year-to-date through early July). The combined potential value across all 579 awards in the source is $6.7 million; however, combined dollars obligated total $51.85 billion, reflecting the formula-grant structure in which annual obligations far exceed the potential-value ceiling figures reported for individual awards. Twenty-five awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and represent recompete or renewal opportunity.
ISBE administers grants across twenty-seven distinct federal agencies and operates as a pass-through entity for the vast majority of its awards, distributing sub-awards to hundreds of local school districts, educational service centers, charter schools, regional offices of education, nonprofit organizations, and community-based providers across Illinois. Notable sub-recipients recur across multiple programs: Chicago Public Schools, Rockford School District Number 205, Peoria Public Schools, Joliet Public Schools, and numerous regional educational offices of education receive sub-awards under Title I, Special Education, English Language Acquisition, Student Support and Academic Enrichment, Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers, and child nutrition programs. ISBE also distributes sub-awards to non-profit organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCA affiliates, regional workforce development boards, and mental health service providers, in support of school-based mental health, trauma-informed services (REACH OUT program), after-school enrichment, and family engagement initiatives. The agency maintains administrative and compliance oversight of all federal awards while local recipients implement direct services to students and families.
