The Funding Gap for IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) in the fiscal year 2024 currently stands at $23.63 billion.
Since IDEA was enacted nearly five decades ago, Congress has not fulfilled its commitment to cover 40 percent of the additional costs of educating children with disabilities, known as "full funding." The IDEA Full Funding Act proposes a plan to reach full funding within ten years.
