The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $4.578 million to Groton Board of Education on October 1, 2025, under Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant that runs through September 30, 2031.
Groton Public School District operates in Mystic and Stonington, Connecticut, serving a student population that includes military-connected and federally impacted children. The district qualifies for Impact Aid assistance because it educates federally connected children living on or whose parents work on Federal property, offsetting the reduced local tax base that results from Federal property exempt from local taxation. The award provides financial assistance to help replace lost local revenue otherwise available to the local educational agency to fund K–12 education.
