Federal Grant Award Summary

The Hoboken Board of Education received a $110,734 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for the impact of federally connected students—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active military duty—which reduces the district's traditional tax base. The Section 7003 component of Impact Aid is specifically designed to support local educational agencies (LEAs) enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance, enabling the district to maintain educational operations and services despite the presence of non-taxable federal property within its jurisdiction.

As a recipient of five consecutive prime Impact Aid awards since October 2021, the Hoboken Board of Education has demonstrated sustained eligibility and compliance with program requirements. In addition to this direct federal funding, the district receives supplemental support through sub-awards from the New Jersey Department of Education (Title I grants for student achievement) and the New Jersey Department of Agriculture (school nutrition programs), creating a comprehensive federal funding portfolio that supports the district's K-12 educational services, student proficiency initiatives, and nutritional support programs through September 2031.
