Project Grant S041B251324

This Project Grant award of $456,226.00 was made on December 16, 2024 by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). The funding supports the Lowndes County School District in Valdosta, Georgia, a U.S. local government school district serving over 10,500 students in grades K-12. The grant enables the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic initiatives. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies impacted by federal activities that reduce their local tax base, such as the presence of military bases, Native American reservations, or other federally owned properties. This award demonstrates the federal government's ongoing commitment to supporting educational services for disadvantaged, special needs, and underserved student populations through targeted funding mechanisms.
