Project Grant S041A261280

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $1,229,320 to Bryan County Board of Education on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041). The award supports a school district impacted by federal land acquisition that reduces the local tax base and denies the district access to property tax revenue needed to educate children living on or connected to federal property. The grant runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Ellabell, Georgia. Section 7002 of the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the federal government has acquired an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed valuation of real property since 1938 and the district is not substantially compensated by revenue from activities on eligible federal property. Payments are made annually and computed on the basis of the statutory formula; payments are prorated if appropriations are insufficient. The recipient is a local government entity serving Bryan County through comprehensive K-12 educational services and has received substantial federal grant support through multiple Impact Aid Program awards.
