IDEA Part B catalog × North Carolina
CFDA 84.027 is titled SPECIAL EDUCATION GRANTS TO STATES. Crossed with North Carolina place of performance, the obligation sum is $2,442,516,303.07 on 7 awards.

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 state education agency, list districts, or count individualized education programs. Packet facts are $2,442,516,303.07, 7 awards, NC, and 84.027.
Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $2,442,516,303.07 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 84.027 and NC. 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 North Carolina against other states on need, performance, or politics.
Seven awards totaling $2,442,516,303.07 (about $348.93 million mean) is IDEA Part B tagged North Carolina. Research, CRF, and CHIP in the same state are other catalogs. LEA names are not in the facts.
84.027 versus other North Carolina catalogs
Allergy and infectious-diseases research, Coronavirus Relief Fund, and CHIP in North Carolina use other CFDA numbers. Adding those to $2,442,516,303.07 would invent a broader total than this cell supports. Preschool special-education catalogs, if present, would also sit elsewhere.
Available facts: North Carolina, CFDA 84.027, $2,442,516,303.07, 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 North Carolina special-education quality.
The only numeric facts on this packet are $2,442,516,303.07, 7 awards, CFDA 84.027, program title Special Education Grants To States, and geography NC/North Carolina. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 7 awards into $2,442,516,303.07 is about $348.93 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.
North Carolina research and CHIP cells are other families. $2,442,516,303.07 is 84.027 × NC. Seven awards is the formula-grant silhouette, not a district invoice list.
North Carolina geography, not a district map
NC is the place-of-performance code. A statewide award can cover Charlotte, the Research Triangle, and rural LEAs while still posting as seven records. Awards coded to South Carolina or Virginia stay outside $2,442,516,303.07.
North Carolina federal spending remains the all-program parent. CFDA 84.027 is one row on the North Carolina programs list. $2.44 billion is not the state’s full federal footprint.
Place of performance NC 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 $2,442,516,303.07 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 $349 million mean
$2,442,516,303.07 ÷ 7 is about $348.9 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 $2,442,516,303.07 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.
