Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Cape May City School District received a $1,598,227 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 supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district's federally connected student populations, including those living on federal property and children of parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance educational service delivery across general instruction, special education, English language learning (ELL), career and technical education (CTE), teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program funding is complemented by the district's existing portfolio of federal grant awards, including sub-award funding from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture for the School Nutrition Program and Title I funding from the New Jersey Department of Education. These coordinated funding streams enable Cape May City School District to support equitable access to high-quality education and comprehensive student services across multiple operational areas, addressing the revenue impacts created by the federal land presence that reduces the local tax base.
