* 2013 allocations assume enactment of the Administration's proposed appropriations language that authorizes the U.S. Department of Education to calculate a state's allocation without regard to a reduction in funding in a prior year resulting from a failure to meet the maintenance of state financial support requirements in section 612 of the IDEA. ** For Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants, the amount shown is the FY 2012 level increased by the mandatory CPIU inflationary increase (3.5 percent). *** There is no reduction in allocations for a number of states because of “hold harmless” provisions in the authorizing statute. NOTES: Total reflects these 12 programs only. States would also receive other funds from the U.S. Department of Education. CCSSO estimates funding cuts in Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies to affect 20,710 students and 162 staff. CCSSO estimates funding cuts in IDEA Part B Grants to States to affect 93 staff.
