Project Grant S041B250243

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $2,455,375 Project Grant under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) to the Red Mesa Unified School District 27 in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona. The grant, with a performance period from December 2024 to September 2030, supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district's significant Native American student population. The funding enables the school district to maintain and enhance a wide range of educational programs, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic initiatives. As a sub-grantee under the Arizona Department of Education, the district also receives additional funding for professional services such as psychological services, speech language pathology, occupational and physical therapy, and professional development for educators. The federal grant award demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting educational services in districts with substantial federal land ownership, which impacts local tax revenue and makes them eligible for specific federal educational assistance programs.
