Federal Grant Award Summary

Royal Valley USD 337 received a $1.32 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This grant provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services at the school district in Mayetta, Kansas, which serves a significant population of Native American students and experiences reduced local tax revenue due to federal land presence. The funding is designated to help maintain and enhance educational delivery across general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration initiatives.

As an Impact Aid Program recipient, Royal Valley USD 337 qualifies under Section 7003, which targets local educational agencies with at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who reside on federal property, including Indian lands, or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The six-year award period enables the district to sustain educational infrastructure and support services tailored to its student population's needs while addressing the financial challenges resulting from the reduced assessed valuation of taxable property within the district boundaries.
