Built for New Jersey, statewide

Every eligible cost, documented.

Extraordinary Aid covers only part of what districts spend on their highest-need students. IEP Assure keeps the service record behind every application, so nothing eligible goes unclaimed for lack of documentation.

51.7% of eligible 2024-25 Extraordinary Aid costs covered by the FY2026 appropriation

The biggest concern right now

Extraordinary Aid covers about half of eligible costs.

The FY2026 appropriation of $420 million covered 51.7% of eligible costs, and the FY2027 proposal holds it flat while eligible costs keep rising. With aid prorated, every documented cost matters.
