Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Glacier School District 50, operating as East Glacier Park Elementary School, received a $100,160 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services at a school district adversely affected by federal activities, specifically serving a rural community with significant Native American population and limited local tax base due to federal land presence.

The funding supports a range of educational initiatives, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As an Impact Aid Section 7003 recipient, the school district qualifies based on enrollment of federally connected children—those residing on federal or Indian lands and/or having parents employed on federal property or in active uniformed service—representing at least three percent or 400 students in average daily attendance. The award enables the district to maintain and enhance educational services that would otherwise be constrained by the reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal property acquisition in the district's boundaries.
