Federal Grant Award Summary

The County Of Teller School District Re 1 (doing business as Cripple Creek Victor School District 1) received a Project Grant award of $1,798,184 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, Office of Head Start, under the Head Start program (CFDA 93.600). The award, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, supports comprehensive early childhood education and family support services designed to promote school readiness among low-income children and families in the Cripple Creek and Victor area of Colorado.

Under this five-year project period, the school district will deliver Head Start and Early Head Start services encompassing educational instruction, health and nutritional support, social-emotional development programming, and family engagement initiatives. These services will target both traditional Head Start participants (primarily three- and four-year-old children) and Early Head Start participants (infants, toddlers, and pregnant women). The district is required to provide a 20 percent non-federal match to support program operations and will be subject to federal performance standards related to school readiness outcomes, health and family well-being metrics, and compliance with applicable federal requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 and HHS-specific provisions in 2 CFR Part 300.
