Project Grant S041B262998

The Elko County School District received a $2.0 million 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 Elko, Nevada school district, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children living on or near federal property and/or having parents employed on federal property or in active military service. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, enabling districts to maintain educational quality in affected areas.

The funding supports a range of educational services and programs across the district's schools, including general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning for immigrant and English learner populations, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As documented in the district's historical grant portfolio, the award contributes to the district's capacity to serve diverse student populations, including Native American students, migrant workers' families, and students with disabilities, ensuring continued access to comprehensive educational services in a region with reduced local tax revenue due to federal land presence.
