Project Grant S041B261148

Falcon School District 49 received a $402,929 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's comprehensive K-12 educational services in Peyton, Colorado, where federal property presence has reduced the local tax base. Under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid Program, the funding assists school districts serving federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal installations or in active military service—enabling the district to maintain and enhance educational programming that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenue.

The grant funds support a range of educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a district serving over 19,000 students and currently managing an extensive portfolio of federal grants totaling millions in annual funding, Falcon School District 49 leverages Impact Aid resources to address the educational needs of its federally connected student population and maintain the instructional quality and support services necessary for comprehensive K-12 education in areas affected by federal land acquisition and military installations.
