Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Kamiah Joint School District #304 a Project Grant totaling $341,271 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in a rural Idaho school district adversely affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base. The funding is specifically allocated to enhance educational initiatives including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program targets local educational agencies (LEAs) serving areas with significant federal land presence or Native American reservations where federal property acquisition has reduced assessed valuation or where federally connected children comprise a substantial portion of the student population. Kamiah Joint School District #304 qualifies under Section 7003 of Title VII, having at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance living on or with parents working on federal property, including Indian lands. This award enables the district to maintain educational quality and services despite the reduced local revenue base resulting from federal land presence in its service area.
