Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) a $505,201 Project Grant under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports FUSD's provision of comprehensive K-12 educational services to students in Flagstaff, Arizona, particularly Native American student populations affected by federal land presence that reduces the local tax base. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the funding addresses the educational needs of federally connected children living on or near Indian lands, enabling the district to maintain and enhance core instructional services, special education, English language acquisition programs, and related educational support activities.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies disproportionately affected by federal activities. FUSD's award reflects the program's focus on districts with significant Native American enrollment and reduced local tax revenue due to federal property holdings. The six-year funding period enables the district to sustain consistent educational programming and resource allocation for a student population with unique cultural and academic needs, complementing FUSD's existing federal grant portfolio that includes Indian Education Formula Grants and various Title grants administered through the Arizona Department of Education.
