Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) awarded County of Owyhee Joint School District 365, doing business as Bruneau Grand View Joint School District, a Project Grant of $273,553 under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the district's federal impact status under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program, which qualifies school districts where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports the Bruneau Grand View Joint School District's K-12 educational mission in this rural Idaho community by enabling the district to maintain comprehensive educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, and supplemental academic programs that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenues due to the presence of federally connected students and families. The award represents annual payments distributed according to the statutory Impact Aid formula to eligible local educational agencies, with funds supporting the district's ability to deliver quality educational services comparable to non-impacted districts.
