Impact aid program 7008 facilities maintenance grant

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pemberton Township Board of Education a $19.6 million Impact Aid Facilities Maintenance grant (CFDA 84.040) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2028. This Project Grant supports the maintenance, restoration, and emergency repair of federally owned school facilities operated by the local educational agency (LEA) that serve military-connected students. The funding enables the LEA to maintain these facilities and may support facility transfer projects where the LEA has agreed to accept ownership of Department of Education-owned school infrastructure.

The grant directly benefits Pemberton Township School District's K-12 student population by ensuring continued operational capacity and safety of school facilities serving the district's approximately 5,000 students, particularly those from military-connected families. As part of the Impact Aid Facilities Maintenance program—which has obligated $138.6 million across 56 awards since 1992—this award represents one of the program's larger allocations and reflects the significance of facility needs within federally impacted school districts. The three-year project period allows for comprehensive facility improvements and planned construction activities as approved by the Department of Education.
