The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Swain County Board of Education, operating as Swain County Schools, a $1,120,026 Project Grant under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on November 6, 2024. The grant funds will support comprehensive K-12 educational services provided by the local educational agency, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and various supplemental academic initiatives. As a federally impacted school district with reduced local tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal land, this Impact Aid grant will enable Swain County Schools to maintain and enhance its educational programs and services for students through September 30, 2030. The district has also received sub-awards from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for Title I programs and ESSER funds to address pandemic response efforts.
