Federal Grant Award Summary

Mahnomen Public School received a $1,301,270 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 supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district located in Mahnomen, Minnesota, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children, including students living on or near Indian lands and those with parents employed on Federal property. The funding addresses the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence on Native American reservations.

The grant provides financial assistance to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. With a specific focus on serving Native American students, the funding enables Mahnomen Public School to maintain and enhance educational programming that addresses the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of American Indian students while supporting their achievement of state performance standards. The six-year performance period allows the school district to implement sustainable, culturally responsive educational initiatives across multiple service areas.
