what is funded, what is not yet
Drawn for this page. Counting awarded money separately from hoped-for money is what shows the real gap.

How to use it

  1. Start a plan with a short code, such as the fiscal year, and today’s date.
  2. Enter the amount you need funded and what it is for.
  3. List every source, including ideas, with its amount and status.
  4. Add each next deadline: apply-by for open requests, spend-by for awards.
  5. Update the status as decisions arrive and bring the summary to budget meetings.

How to read the totals

Have versus hope

Counting awarded money apart from submitted and planned requests shows the gap you actually face, and how much rides on decisions still to come.

Federal funds

IDEA Part B money reaches districts by formula, not competition, and must supplement, not supplant, state and local spending. Allowable uses and spending periods are set by federal rules; your business office tracks them.

What it is not

Not an accounting system and not a list of funders. Amounts and deadlines are the ones you enter.

Sources

  1. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act regulations, 34 CFR 300.202: use of Part B funds, including the supplement-not-supplant requirement.

  3. U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. IDEA Part B grants to states and fiscal guidance, sites.ed.gov/idea.
  4. Win rate is awarded requests divided by decided requests (awarded plus not funded); requests still pending are not counted.
