Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pershing County School District $108,976.00 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) through a Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports educational services and operations at Pershing County Middle School in Lovelock, Nevada, a small rural school district adversely affected by reduced local tax revenue due to federal land presence. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learner programs, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher training initiatives.

The Impact Aid Program funds are specifically allocated to support federally connected children—those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or in active military service. For Pershing County School District, which qualifies under Section 7003 of Title VII, the award provides critical resources to sustain educational quality and specialized services in a rural setting where federal activities have reduced the district's traditional tax base and funding capacity. These funds support direct educational services and resources that enhance student learning outcomes across the district's service area.
