Seven awards is a concentrated formula-grant pattern: IDEA Part B to States typically posts as a small number of large assistance instruments to a state education agency. The join does not name the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, list districts, or count IEPs. Packet facts stop at $2,018,949,321.53, 7 awards, MA, and 84.027.

84.027 is not Title I

Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010) is a different Education catalog. Mixing Title I into $2,018,949,321.53 would invent a broader K–12 total than this cell contains. Preschool grants and personnel development use other numbers still. Facts available: Massachusetts, CFDA 84.027, $2,018,949,321.53, 7 awards. Child counts and maintenance-of-effort worksheets are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Special Education Grants to States, not a ranking of district compliance. Dividing $2,018,949,321.53 by 7 yields about $288.42 million per award—a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Cambridge district subgrant and not a per-pupil IDEA allocation. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7 is not a count of schools.
