The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a 5-year Project Grant totaling $623,940 to the Liberty County Board of Education (LCBE) under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). This federal grant program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) impacted by the presence of federal land or activities, such as military bases, which reduce the local tax base. The LCBE, a U.S. local government entity and school district overseeing the provision of K-12 education services to over 13,000 students in Liberty County, Georgia, will use this funding to maintain high-quality educational programming, including academic instruction, social-emotional learning, mental health care, educator professional development, and facilities management. Additionally, the LCBE manages several sub-grants from the Georgia Department of Education utilizing pass-through federal funding for various programs, such as Title I-A, Title II-A, Title III-A, IDEA, Perkins V, and ESSER, to support specialized initiatives like literacy development, homeless student services, and STEM education enhancements.
