Federal Grant Award Summary

The Jemez Mountain School District received a $427,802 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 is designated under Title VII, Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, which provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) serving areas where federal activities have reduced the local tax base or where significant percentages of students are federally connected—including those living on federal/Indian lands or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services delivery by the rural school district, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a rural LEA serving a federally impacted student population in Gallina, New Mexico, the district utilizes Impact Aid formula grant funding to maintain educational programming and infrastructure that would otherwise be constrained by the reduced local tax revenue characteristic of areas with significant federal land presence or military-connected populations.
