Project Grant S041B263179

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded $4.84M in Project Grant funding under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, to support comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services in Dulce, New Mexico. This award provides financial assistance to the local educational agency to offset the reduction in local tax base resulting from federal activities and the presence of federally connected students, including those residing on Indian lands or with parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports core educational operations and services including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. Under Section 7003 of Title VII, this award specifically addresses the educational needs of districts where at least three percent of students or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance qualify based on their connection to federal properties or military service, enabling the school district to maintain educational quality and infrastructure despite constrained local revenue capacity.
