Project Grant S041B260133

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Anchorage School District $101,461.00 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This Project Grant provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases. The funding supports ASD's comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher professional development, with particular focus on serving the district's substantial population of federally connected children and Native Alaskan students.

As Alaska's largest school district serving approximately 44,325 students across more than 2,000 square miles, ASD utilizes Impact Aid funding to maintain and enhance educational programming and support services for students whose families are affected by federal land presence or military installations. The award recognizes ASD's need for supplemental revenue to offset reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal property acquisitions, enabling the district to sustain quality educational services and support initiatives for its diverse student population, where minority students comprise over 50 percent of total enrollment.
