Federal Grant Award Summary

Ashland School District 32-J received a $488,677 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides comprehensive educational support services to the school district located in Ashland, Montana, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children in its student population—specifically children living on federal property, including Indian lands, and/or children with parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services.

The grant funds support the district's delivery of K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services are designed to maintain educational quality and accessibility in a school district adversely affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base, ensuring that students in federally impacted areas receive comprehensive educational programming comparable to non-impacted districts.
