CFDA 84.027 is titled SPECIAL EDUCATION GRANTS TO STATES. Crossed with Illinois place of performance, the obligation sum is $3,563,228,566.05 on 7 awards. The national 84.027 page has no Illinois filter. The Illinois spending page has no CFDA filter. Only the intersection is reported here.

Formula grants to states often appear as a handful of large assistance awards rather than thousands of district invoices. The join does not name the Illinois State Board of Education, list districts, or count individualized education programs. Packet facts are dollars, award count, state, and CFDA.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $3,563,228,566.05 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 84.027 and IL. The overlay table at the program-in-state path is the same cell rendered as a page; this narrative is the join explained in prose. Nothing here ranks Illinois against other states on need, performance, or politics.

IDEA Part B formula funds usually land as a short list of large awards. Seven records carrying $3,563,228,566.05 fit that pattern. The about $509.03 million mean is an SEA-scale stream. It does not count IEPs, and it does not split Chicago Public Schools from the rest of Illinois.

84.027 versus other education catalogs

Preschool grants, personnel development, and Title I use other CFDA numbers. Adding those to $3,563,228,566.05 would invent a broader education total than this cell supports. Housing and transit catalogs in Illinois are likewise separate joins.

Available facts: Illinois, CFDA 84.027, $3,563,228,566.05, 7 awards. Child counts, disability categories, and maintenance-of-effort calculations are not in the facts. The catalog title is the program name, not a verdict on Illinois special-education quality.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $3,563,228,566.05, 7 awards, CFDA 84.027, program title Special Education Grants To States, and geography IL/Illinois. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 7 awards into $3,563,228,566.05 is about $509.03 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Title I, preschool grants, and personnel development are other Education CFDAs. $3,563,228,566.05 is 84.027 × Illinois. Housing and transit totals in Illinois are unrelated joins.
