Special Education Grants to States obligations in New Jersey

IDEA Part B meeting New Jersey

CFDA 84.027 is titled SPECIAL EDUCATION GRANTS TO STATES. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, the obligation sum is $2,557,683,159.87 on 7 awards. The national 84.027 page has no New Jersey filter. The New Jersey 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 New Jersey Department 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. $2,557,683,159.87 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 84.027 and NJ. 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 New Jersey against other states on need, performance, or politics.

Seven awards totaling $2,557,683,159.87 (about $365.38 million mean) is IDEA Part B tagged New Jersey. District allocations are downstream. School lunch and CHIP in the same state are other CFDA numbers.

84.027 versus other New Jersey catalogs

School lunch, transit formula, Housing Choice Vouchers, CHIP, and 1332 waivers use other CFDA numbers. Adding those to $2,557,683,159.87 would invent a broader education-and-services total than this cell supports. Preschool special-education catalogs, if present, would also sit elsewhere.

Available facts: New Jersey, CFDA 84.027, $2,557,683,159.87, 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 New Jersey special-education quality.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $2,557,683,159.87, 7 awards, CFDA 84.027, program title Special Education Grants To States, and geography NJ/New Jersey. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 7 awards into $2,557,683,159.87 is about $365.38 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Seven-award IDEA cells look alike across states; the dollars differ. This page’s facts are $2,557,683,159.87 and 7 for New Jersey. Do not import another state’s total.

New Jersey geography, not a district map

NJ is the place-of-performance code. A statewide award can cover Newark, Jersey City, and suburban districts while still posting as seven records. Awards coded to New York or Pennsylvania stay outside $2,557,683,159.87.

New Jersey federal spending remains the all-program parent. CFDA 84.027 is one row on the New Jersey programs list. $2.56 billion is not the state’s full federal footprint.

Place of performance NJ 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 $2,557,683,159.87 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 $365 million mean

$2,557,683,159.87 ÷ 7 is about $365.4 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 $2,557,683,159.87 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.
