Federal Grant Award Summary

The Liberty County Board of Education received a $1,026,757 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, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal activities, specifically the presence of Fort Stewart military base within its jurisdiction. The district serves over 13,000 students, approximately 16% of whom are from military-connected families, making it eligible for Impact Aid funding designed to support LEAs (Local Educational Agencies) with significant federal land presence or military installations.

The funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services across multiple instructional domains, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services directly address the educational needs of the district's economically disadvantaged and military-connected student population. This award represents one of multiple Impact Aid grants received by Liberty County Board of Education in fiscal year 2025, complementing the district's broader portfolio of federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies to deliver enhanced educational and student support services.
