Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Wyola School District 29 received a $779,435 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the rural school district located in Wyola, Montana, which serves a region with significant Native American population. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities, particularly those with reduced local tax bases due to federal land presence or Native American reservations.

The grant funds educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These resources enable Wyola School District 29 to maintain and enhance educational quality in a community where federal activities—including proximity to Indian lands—reduce the availability of local tax revenue. The six-year performance period allows the district to implement sustained improvements to its educational infrastructure and student support services across multiple program areas.
