Federal Grant Award Summary

The Gallup-McKinley County School District NO. 1 received a $32.2 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district serving a significant population of American Indian and Alaska Native students in Gallup, New Mexico. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, such as federal land acquisitions and Native American reservations.

The funded services include general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training and professional development, and technology integration initiatives. These educational services address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic needs of the district's diverse student body while supporting the district's mission of academic excellence and cultural preservation. The district receives complementary support through sub-awards from the State of New Mexico Public Education Department for Title I programs, rural and low-income school initiatives, and services for homeless children and youth, further extending the capacity to deliver comprehensive educational support.
