Special Education Grants to States obligations in Texas

What the 84.027–Texas join is

CFDA 84.027 is titled SPECIAL EDUCATION GRANTS TO STATES. Crossed with Texas place of performance, obligations sum to $6,187,827,650.27 on 6 awards. The national 84.027 hub includes other states. Texas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $6,187,827,650.27 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of students with IEPs in Houston, Dallas, or El Paso.

Six awards is a concentrated formula-grant pattern: IDEA Part B to states often posts as a small number of large assistance instruments to a state education agency that then allocates to districts. The join does not name TEA, list districts, or count eligible children. Packet facts stop at $6,187,827,650.27, 6 awards, TX, 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 $6,187,827,650.27 would invent a broader K–12 total than this cell contains. Preschool grants and other IDEA lines use other numbers still. Facts available: Texas, CFDA 84.027, $6,187,827,650.27, 6 awards. Child-count and least-restrictive-environment flags are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Special Education Grants to States, not a ranking of district need. Dividing $6,187,827,650.27 by 6 yields about $1.03 billion per award—a statewide formula scale, not a typical campus special-education allocation. Unique recipients are unpublished. 6 is not a count of schools.

Texas geography on the IDEA tag

TX is the place-of-performance code. A statewide 84.027 award can still appear as records tagged to Austin, Houston, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Louisiana stay outside $6,187,827,650.27 even when a student lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $6.19 billion into a district map.

Texas federal spending is the all-program parent. 84.027 is one row on Texas programs. $6.19 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Special Education Grants To States in Texas for the filtered table, CFDA 84.027 for 84.027 without a Texas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,187,827,650.27.

Reading 6 awards under $6.19 billion

$6,187,827,650.27 ÷ 6 is about $1.03 billion per award. That average is a state-pass-through scale, not a typical teacher salary and not a per-pupil IDEA amount. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 6 as a record count, not as 6 finished special-education programs.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $6,187,827,650.27 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 6 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $6,187,827,650.27 without changing the join key of 84.027 and TX.

What the IDEA–Texas pair does not prove

A large 84.027 total tagged to Texas does not measure whether IEP services were delivered, and it does not equal outcomes. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $6,187,827,650.27 on 6 awards for Special Education Grants to States in Texas.

Keep both sides of the join: Special Education Grants to States and Texas, obligations only. Do not annualize $6,187,827,650.27 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 6 as a district census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a compliance story.

Using the 84.027–Texas overlay

The overlay target is the Texas × CFDA 84.027 table. Open Special Education Grants To States in Texas when you want the same $6,187,827,650.27 / 6-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 84.027 drops the Texas filter. Texas federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Texas programs lists other catalogs beside 84.027. All spending ties indexes 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 Texas won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 84.027 plus TX. Obligations of $6,187,827,650.27 are not outlays.
