ESTIMATED FY 2019 IDEA Part B Flow Through and Preschool allocations as well as Nonpublic Proportionate Share estimates for each district in both programs have been calculated and can be accessed below.
You will receive a separate notification of FY 2019 IDEA Part B Flow Through and Preschool grant application availability in the electronic Grant Management System via IWAS.
Please note the following important information regarding these estimates:
- 2017-18 District enrollment should be considered preliminary. Enrollment data was taken as of October 2, 2017; districts should be verifying enrollment accuracy for 2019 Evidence-Based Funding. Further details can be accessed at https://www.isbe.net/Documents/FY19FundingAnnouncement.pdf. Enrollment data may be adjusted when final district allocations are calculated.
For those not familiar with the federally dictated allocation process for IDEA Part B you are encouraged to review the following link https://www.isbe.net/Documents/idea-calc-np-prop-share.pdf.
- The 2017-18 Nonpublic enrollment is current as of March 27 and will change before final district allocations are calculated.
- District withdrawals from joint agreements that are scheduled to take effect on July 1 are reflected in the allocation estimates.
- The Nonpublic Proportionate Share set aside amounts utilize the FINAL December 1, 2017 special education child count. The child count data is final; however, the set aside amounts will change when final district allocations are calculated.
NOTE: Please take the time to verify the L, P, and N child count numbers are accurate for your district.

Please access the link above to view 2017-18 Nonpublic Enrollment reported to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) by registered nonpublic schools. Each nonpublic school that chose to register and report enrollment this year (registration is voluntary and annual) is connected by jurisdiction to the corresponding public school district(s).
If a nonpublic school does not appear in the list, it is due to one of the following reasons:
1. The nonpublic school was reported as “For Profit.” Per federal rule, only enrollment reported from nonprofit elementary and secondary schools can be counted for distributing 85% of the remaining IDEA Part B grant funds to all local education agencies after the Base Year has been subtracted.
[see 34 CFR 300.13, 300.36, 300.705(b)(3)(i)]
2. The nonpublic school is also an ISBE-approved nonpublic special education program. The nonpublic school enrollment was removed since students placed by their home districts in a private facility should be included in the enrollment reported by these public school districts.
3. The nonpublic school did not choose to register and report enrollment this year.
If you believe there is a reporting error in the nonpublic enrollment information, please contact Gary A. Greene, Ph.D, ggreene@isbe.net, Regulatory Support and Wellness (312) 814-3985.
