Special Education Grants to States obligations in Illinois

IDEA Part B catalog × Illinois

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.

Illinois geography, not a district map

IL is the place-of-performance code. A statewide award can cover Chicago Public Schools and downstate cooperatives while still posting as seven records. Awards coded to Indiana, Wisconsin, or Missouri stay outside $3,563,228,566.05.

Illinois federal spending remains the all-program parent. CFDA 84.027 is one row on the Illinois programs list. $3.56 billion is not the state’s full federal footprint.

Place of performance IL is a two-letter code in the award file. It can mark a state capital, a campus, a housing authority, a transit agency, or a default statewide tag. It does not prove where every subcontract ran, and it does not convert $3,563,228,566.05 into a county map. Awards with a different state code are outside this cell even if people, patients, or riders cross the border.

Seven awards and a $509 million mean

$3,563,228,566.05 ÷ 7 is about $509.0 million per award. With n = 7, each record is an agency-scale grant stream, not a typical classroom budget. The mean is not a median and not a per-pupil figure. Net obligations can include negative modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts.

Treat 7 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 7 finished projects. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; the $3,563,228,566.05 figure is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 7 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections.

Using the Special Education Grants To States–Illinois overlay

The overlay target for this tie is the Illinois × CFDA 84.027 table. Open that path when you want the same $3,563,228,566.05 / 7-award cell in the site’s data chrome. The national program page for CFDA 84.027 drops the Illinois filter. The Illinois spending hub drops the CFDA filter. The Illinois programs index lists other catalogs beside Special Education Grants To States. All spending ties is the directory of other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Illinois “won” or “lost” federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. Correlation is not causation. The headline number remains $3,563,228,566.05 on 7 awards, from USAspending.gov, for Special Education Grants To States in Illinois.

Limits of the join
