Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Redwater Independent School District a Project Grant of $272,287 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) beginning October 1, 2025 and extending through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to offset the adverse fiscal impacts of federal activities on the school district's local tax base in Redwater, Texas. Under Section 7002 of the Impact Aid statute, the funding supports the district's ability to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Redwater Independent School District has established a consistent pattern of receiving Impact Aid support and leverages these federal resources in conjunction with additional sub-awards from the Texas Education Agency across multiple federal education programs, including IDEA-B special education funding, Title I compensatory education services for low-income students, Title II educator quality improvements, and emergency pandemic relief through ESSER II and ESSER III programs. This multi-program approach enables the district to comprehensively address the educational needs of its student population while accounting for reduced local revenue resulting from federal property acquisitions within its jurisdiction.
