The FY2027 President's Budget requests $6.12B for Annual appropriation, within Education's Special Education account. That is up 24% on the FY2025 figure of $4.93B, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $4,930.3M |
| FY2027 | request | $6,117.4M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Education discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Education's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Provides formula grants to states to help meet the excess cost of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 under IDEA Part B.
Extracted from Special Education, p. 90. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
3 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.
| Contract | Vendor | Confidence | Obligated |
|---|---|---|---|
| HSHQDC15J00121 last action FY2022 | THE MITRE CORPORATION | Medium confidence | $10.4M |
| HSHQDC15J00014 last action FY2020 | THE MITRE CORPORATION | Medium confidence | $1.7M |
| HSHQDC15J00031 last action FY2020 | THE MITRE CORPORATION | Medium confidence | $1.6M |

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
