Just released on May 2, 2025, the president's proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026 (school year 2026-27) includes a "Special Education Simplified Funding Program" for IDEA. While total funding for IDEA would be maintained at the current level, the budget consolidates all parts of IDEA into one block grant: Part B (K12); Part C (Infants and Toddlers); Preschool; and Part D grants for personnel preparation/development, technical assistance, parent information centers, and technology. These components of the law are designed to work as a continuum of supports and services. Reducing the components of the law to one block grant, without the guarantee that each part would be funded, is a serious disservice to children and youth with disabilities, their families, and the educators that serve them.
