The Blackfoot School District 55 in Blackfoot, Idaho has been awarded a $823,745.00 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). This federal grant will provide financial assistance to the local educational agency (LEA) to support comprehensive K-12 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 award has a performance period from October 15, 2024 to September 30, 2030 and is intended to help offset reduced local tax revenues due to the presence of federal property, such as the nearby Fort Hall Reservation of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, within the district's jurisdiction. The Blackfoot School District 55 has also served as a sub-recipient for various other education grants from the Department of Education and the Idaho State Board of Education to address the diverse needs of its student population.
