Federal Grant Award Summary

The Aleutians East Borough School District received a $1,388,475 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, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services in Sand Point, Alaska, a federally impacted school district where a substantial proportion of students have parents employed on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports a range of educational initiatives, including general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a rural Alaskan school district facing constrained local revenue capacity due to federal impacts on its tax base, the district utilizes this Impact Aid formula-based allocation to maintain educational quality and infrastructure while serving its Native Alaskan student population and other federally connected students.
