Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Kittatinny Board of Education received a Project Grant award of $360,661 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7002). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in Newton, New Jersey. The Impact Aid Program targets school districts adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax revenue, such as federal land acquisition. Kittatinny Regional School District qualifies for this assistance based on substantial federal property holdings within its jurisdiction that have reduced its assessed property valuation since 1938.

The award funds support the district's delivery of core educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services are complemented by sub-award funding from the New Jersey Department of Education (Title I) and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (School Nutrition Program), which collectively enable the district to maintain educational equity and operational continuity despite reduced local tax revenue. This represents the district's fifth consecutive Impact Aid Program award, demonstrating sustained federal support for its educational mission through 2031.
