Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Anne Arundel County Public Schools received a $1.10M 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) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for students in Cape St. Claire, Maryland, whose families are adversely affected by federal activities. Specifically, the funding supports general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration initiatives.

The Impact Aid Program targets school districts where federal land acquisitions or military installations have reduced the local tax base and diminished local revenue capacity. Anne Arundel County Public Schools qualifies under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which provides assistance to districts where at least three percent of students or 400 children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including military installations, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The six-year grant period reflects the program's commitment to sustained support for educational services in federally impacted communities.
