Federal Grant Award Summary

The School Board of Brevard County received a $232,765 Project Grant 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 provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which serves a significant population of federally connected students—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid Program is specifically designed to compensate school districts adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, enabling districts to maintain and enhance educational programming in areas where federal presence limits local revenue generation.

Under this award, Brevard County School Board will utilize funding to support general instruction, specialized student services, and educational infrastructure. As documented in the district's historical sub-award activity, the board receives pass-through funding from state entities for critical programs including the National School Lunch Program, special education services, English Language Learner support, and academic enrichment initiatives. These funds enable the school district to provide equitable educational opportunities and comprehensive support services to its student population, particularly those with federal connections, while maintaining operational capacity across its Melbourne, Florida-based school system.
