Project Grant S041B263113

The Board of Education of North Hanover Town received a $13.25 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, awarded October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This Impact Aid funding compensates for reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal land presence, specifically the proximity of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Wrightstown, New Jersey. The grant supports comprehensive K-12 educational services designed to meet the needs of the district's military-connected student population through curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling services, enrichment programs, educator professional development, technology integration, and specialized foreign language instruction.

The award enables the district to maintain and enhance educational programming that addresses the unique needs of federally connected students while closing achievement gaps. Services delivered through this funding include academic support initiatives, social-emotional counseling, English language learning, physical wellness and self-regulation programs, and language immersion curriculum. As a highly impacted military-connected school district, North Hanover Township benefits from sustained federal support to ensure consistent, high-quality educational experiences for students whose families are affected by the federal military installation's presence in the region.
