IDEA Money Watch is a project of The Advocacy Institute (www.advocacyinstitute.org), a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the development of products, projects and services that work to improve the lives of people with disabilities.

IDEA Money Watch tracks the use of federal funds that are provided to states and local school districts in support of special education services required by the IDEA.

We also report on supplemental education funds being provided to states and districts via the COVID-19 relief packages passed by Congress.
