Federal Grant Award Summary

Cedar Public School District 25 received a $1.41 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), Title VII, Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's provision of comprehensive K-12 educational services to students in Keams Canyon, Arizona, a rural Native American community where the local tax base is substantially reduced due to federal land presence and Indian trust lands. The funding addresses the district's eligibility under Section 7003 criteria, which target local educational agencies (LEAs) with at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance living on federal or Indian lands.

The grant enables Cedar Public School District 25 to maintain and enhance core educational programs including general instruction, special education services, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a direct prime grantee under the Impact Aid Program, the district leverages this federal funding alongside supplemental sub-grants from the Arizona Department of Education (Title I, Title II, Title IV, and IDEA Section 611 programs) to deliver a coordinated suite of educational services that address the unique geographic and demographic challenges facing its federally connected student population.
