Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The U.S. Department of Education has awarded a $121,071 Project Grant to the Box Elder School District 13-G, doing business as Box Elder High School, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). This 5-year grant, awarded on November 9, 2023, will provide financial assistance to the school district to compensate for reduced local tax revenue due to the presence of federal lands within its jurisdiction. The funding will enable Box Elder High School to maintain its K-12 educational programs and services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career/technical education, teacher training, technology integration, pandemic response, and supplemental academic initiatives. The Impact Aid Program aims to support local educational agencies affected by federal activities that reduce their tax base, allowing them to deliver quality public education despite challenges from their rural location and federal land presence.
