Project Grant S041A264762

Stewart County School District received a $186,738 Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This project grant provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district, which has experienced a reduced local tax base due to federal acquisition of real property within its jurisdiction. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance general instruction, special education, English language learner services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration across its schools located in Dover, Tennessee.

The Impact Aid Program specifically targets local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, such as the presence of federal land or military installations. Stewart County School District qualifies under Section 7002 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), having accumulated federal property acquisitions totaling at least 10 percent of the district's assessed real property valuation since 1938. The award recognizes the district's need for compensatory funding to offset the loss of local tax revenue attributable to federally-owned property and supports the continued delivery of essential educational services to Stewart County's student population.
