2026-27 IEP table
TEFA with an IEP: 2026-27 amounts for every Dallas-area district
A TEFA student with an IEP gets $10,474 plus what their home district would have received for the IEP's instructional setting, up to $30,000. Here are the totals for 58 districts in the six-county Dallas area. A Dallas ISD student with a mainstream IEP (code 40) gets $16,757.
Sources. Texas Comptroller, Special Education Funding Table 2026-27, which lists the add-on by district and instructional code. The add-on is added to the $10,474 base, and the total is capped at $30,000. Funded counts are from the TEFA Annual Demographic Report (data as of July 29, 2026). Highland Park ISD here is the Dallas County district, and Wylie ISD is the Collin County district, not the one near Abilene.

Find your code
Look in the IEP's placement or least-restrictive-environment section for the instructional setting code. Code 00 means speech therapy only. Code 40, mainstream classes with supports, covers most students.
Why the districts differ
The state formula pays smaller districts more per student. That's why Sunnyvale ISD, Lovejoy ISD and the small Ellis and Kaufman county districts come out above Dallas ISD for the same code.
Only at a participating school
The add-on is paid only at a participating private school or pre-K/kindergarten provider. Homeschooled students receive $2,000 whether or not they have an IEP.
