The Farmington Municipal Schools received a $322,502 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). This grant, awarded on December 16, 2024, supports the delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district's predominantly Native American student population over a performance period ending on September 30, 2030.

The funding enables Farmington Municipal Schools to maintain and enhance various educational programs, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic initiatives. The grant helps the district address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of its students, providing culturally-informed curriculum development, Native language instruction, academic support services, and cultural integration initiatives. Additionally, the district has received sub-awards from the State of New Mexico Public Education Department, including Title I funding, 21st Century Community Learning Centers program support, and CARES Act ESSER funding, which have supported after-school programs, academic enrichment, literacy and STEM skills development, and COVID-19 response efforts.
