The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Baldwin Community School District $119,812 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant designed to compensate school districts for lost local tax revenue resulting from federal acquisition of real property within their boundaries.
Baldwin Community School District, located in Baldwin, Michigan, is eligible for Impact Aid assistance because the federal government has acquired an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation in the district since 1938, reducing the local tax base available to finance education. The award supports general instruction, special education, English language learning services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training initiatives, and technology integration across the district's K-12 student population.
The grant runs through September 30, 2031, with performance based in Baldwin, MI 49304. Impact Aid payments are computed using a statutory formula and are made annually to eligible local educational agencies. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
