Federal Grant Award Summary

Red Mesa Unified School District 27 received a $4.35 million Impact Aid (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the school district's operations serving a significant Native American student population in Teec Nos Pos, Arizona. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) affected by federal activities, including districts with reduced tax bases due to federal land acquisition and those serving high concentrations of federally connected children living on federal property or with parents on active military duty.

The funding enables Red Mesa Unified School District 27 to deliver comprehensive educational services, including general classroom instruction, special education, English language learning support, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. These services are specifically designed to address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of Native American students while supporting their achievement of academic performance standards. The six-year award period provides sustained resources for the district to maintain quality educational programs in this rural, federally impacted school district.
