Federal Grant Award Summary

Peach Springs School District 8 received a $1.89 million Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025, with a performance period extending through September 30, 2031. This funding is designed to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district serving a predominantly Native American student population within the Hualapai Indian Reservation in rural Arizona. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, including the presence of federal lands and Indian reservations that reduce local tax bases.

The award supports a range of educational services and initiatives including general instruction, special education, English language learning programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher training and professional development, technology integration, and academic support programs. These services are delivered to students in Peach Springs, Arizona (86434), addressing the unique educational needs of a rural, economically challenged tribal community. The District's receipt of Impact Aid funding reflects its qualification under Section 7003, which provides assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children reside on or have parents working on federal property or Indian lands.
