Project Grant S041A263139

Rockaway Township Board of Education received a Project Grant award of $334,304 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services to federally connected students in Rockaway Township, New Jersey, an area where federal property acquisition has reduced the local tax base. The Impact Aid funding enables the district to maintain and enhance general instruction, special education, English language learning services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration across its school system.

The award represents the fifth consecutive Impact Aid Project Grant received by Rockaway Township Public School, demonstrating sustained federal support for educational services in communities adversely affected by federal land presence. Additionally, the district has leveraged complementary federal funding through sub-awards, including School Nutrition Program funding from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture and Title I funding from the New Jersey Department of Education, which collectively support high-quality education and academic achievement for the district's student population.
