Project Grant S041B255672

The Sweetwater County School District #2 in Green River, Wyoming was awarded a Project Grant of $130,520.00 by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). The grant, awarded on December 16, 2024, will support the delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district through September 30, 2030. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) that have been impacted by federal activities, such as the presence of military bases or Native American lands, which reduce the district's local tax base. The funding enables the school district to maintain and enhance its 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 district has a consistent track record of securing Impact Aid Program grants and has also received several sub-grants from the Wyoming Department of Education for initiatives like COVID-19 response, extended learning opportunities, and career and technical education programs.
