Federal Grant Award Summary

Ellicott School District 22 received a Project Grant award of $612,607 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, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services in Calhan, Colorado, a district adversely affected by federal land presence that has reduced its local tax base. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance educational programs including general instruction, special education, English language learning (ELL), school nutrition, career and technical education (CTE), teacher training, and technology integration for federally connected children.

Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the award specifically targets school districts serving students who reside on federal property or whose parents work on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. As part of its broader federal funding portfolio, Ellicott School District 22 leverages additional sub-awards through the Colorado Board of Education to supplement these services with Title I support for disadvantaged students, Title II teacher professional development funding, nutrition assistance programs, and pandemic recovery initiatives (ESSER funding), creating a comprehensive educational support structure for its student population.
