Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Casa Grande Union High School District received a Project Grant award of $149,878.00 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district located in Casa Grande, Arizona, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children—those residing on federal property or having parents employed on federal installations or in active duty military service. The funding enables the district to enhance and maintain educational programs across general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program addresses the fiscal impact on local educational agencies where federal activities reduce the local tax base. Under Section 7003, Casa Grande Union High School District qualifies by meeting the threshold of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. The district's receipt of consecutive Impact Aid awards since October 2021, combined with supplementary Indian Education Formula Grants, demonstrates sustained federal support for educational services to disadvantaged and Native American student populations. These funds allow the district to maintain educational quality and implement evidence-based programs that strengthen student achievement despite reduced local revenue generation.
