Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $255,118 Project Grant under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) to Pryor Public School, located in Pryor, MT. This 5-year grant, with a performance period from October 11, 2023 to September 30, 2029, provides supplemental funding to support the delivery of K-12 educational services and programs at the district's Arrow Creek Elementary Division, doing business as Pryor Elementary School. The grant funding covers instructional costs, teacher salaries, learning materials, and student support services to benefit students affected by the reduction in the local tax base due to federal land ownership. In addition to the Impact Aid grant, Pryor Public School has also received formula grants through the Indian Education program ($80,615 from 2021-2024) and the Small, Rural School Achievement program ($18,409 from 2021-2024) to serve the educational needs of Native American students and small rural school districts.
