Federal Grant Award Summary

Alpine County Unified School District received a Project Grant award of $398,057 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 Alpine County Elementary Opportunity Day School's delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services to a rural California community in Markleeville. The funding is designated to offset the reduced local tax base resulting from federal property presence and the enrollment of federally connected children, including those residing on federal property and children of federal employees or active-duty military service members.

The grant facilitates the continuation and enhancement of general instruction, special education, English language learning services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training initiatives, and technology integration across the district. As a local educational agency serving a remote region with limited local tax resources, the district utilizes Impact Aid funds to maintain educational infrastructure and programming that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local revenue capacity due to federal land presence and federally connected student populations.
