Federal Grant Award Summary

The Glades County School Board received a $594,485 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) on October 1, 2025, with performance extending through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in Moore Haven, Florida, where the school district's tax base has been adversely affected by federal activities and serves a qualifying population of federally connected children. Under Section 7003 of Title VII, the funding supports educational programming for students residing on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services.

The grant funding supports the maintenance and enhancement of educational services across multiple domains, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services are tailored to address the needs of the school district's diverse student population and support educational continuity across the multi-year award period, consistent with the Impact Aid Program's mission to ensure that local educational agencies adversely affected by federal land acquisition can provide quality educational services despite reduced local tax revenue.
