Federal Grant Award Summary

The Education & Early Development Alaska Department, Administrative Services Division, received a $28.5 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in Alaska school districts adversely affected by federal activities, including those with significant federal land presence, military installations, or Native American reservations that reduce local tax bases. The Impact Aid Program specifically targets local educational agencies (LEAs) where at least 3 percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property, have parents employed on federal property, or have parents on active duty in the uniformed services.

As the state education agency, the recipient administers and sub-awards these funds to eligible local educational agencies and school districts throughout Alaska to support general instruction, special education, English language acquisition, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration. The award demonstrates particular emphasis on serving Alaska's rural and Native Alaskan communities, which experience disproportionate impacts from reduced local tax revenue due to federal land holdings and military installations.
