All states applying for funding under IDEA Part B are required to allow public review and comment on the application and proposed budget. The application, developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) includes a summary of assurances, certifications, and fund usage descriptions that Indiana will use to fulfill IDEA Part B requirements. Access the application on IDOE’s Special Education webpage. Feedback may be submitted here through Tuesday, April 21. Upon OSEP’s approval of Indiana’s Part B application, the state will receive a federal grant award to implement necessary services for students with disabilities for July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028. Contact IDOE’s Office of Special Education Part B team with any questions.
