Written comments may be submitted directly by using the Public Comment Form, or you can email your questions or comments directly to lpofelskirosa@sde.idaho.gov. Comments will be accepted until May 21, 2024.
After setting aside necessary and allowable amounts for state administration and other state-level activities (as described in 34 CFR §300.704(b)), the Idaho Department of Education gives the remainder of the grant as flow-through subawards to Idaho school districts and Local Education Agencies (LEAs).
In addition to the IDEA Part B funds that may be used to provide special education and related services to children ages 3-21, Idaho receives an annual Preschool grant under Section 619 of IDEA. This is a smaller grant that may only be used to provide special education and related services to children ages 3-5. Although this grant allows for certain amounts to be set aside for state administration and other state-level activities, Idaho has historically flowed 100% of the award through to LEAs. The LEA funding formula for Preschool allocations is found at 34 CFR §300.816.
The period of availability for both IDEA grants is from July 1st of the award year until September 30th two years subsequent.
