Federal Grant Award Summary

Saint Louis County Schools ISD received a $206,661 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award qualifies under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, which provides financial assistance to school districts where federally connected children—those living on federal property, with parents employed on federal property, or with parents on active duty in the uniformed services—comprise at least three percent of total average daily attendance. The funding replaces lost local property tax revenue that would otherwise support the education of these federally connected students.

The grant enables Saint Louis County Schools ISD to maintain and enhance educational services for students affected by federal activities, ensuring the district has adequate resources to deliver comprehensive K-12 educational programming despite the tax base reduction caused by the presence of federally connected children. This multi-year award supports the district's ongoing commitment to providing quality educational opportunities and maintaining operational capacity while serving a student population with significant federal nexus.
