Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $1.46 million to Pojoaque Valley School District under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. This six-year Project Grant, extending through September 30, 2031, provides comprehensive K-12 educational services and infrastructure support to a federally impacted school district serving the Santa Fe, New Mexico area. The district qualifies for Impact Aid assistance due to the presence of federally connected children in average daily attendance who reside on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

Funding supports a broad range of educational services and improvements, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. The Impact Aid Program recognizes that federally impacted school districts, particularly those serving minority and Native American populations, face constrained local tax revenues and require sustained federal support to maintain educational quality and infrastructure. These funds enable the district to offset the reduced tax base resulting from federal land holdings and to sustain educational resources and opportunities for its student population.
