Federal Grant Award Summary

Dunseith Public School District #1 received a $3.72M 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, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides formula-based financial assistance to the school district, which serves a federally connected student population residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services designed to offset the reduced local tax base resulting from federal presence in the district's jurisdiction.

The grant funding enables Dunseith Public School to deliver a full spectrum of educational programs and support services, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. Given the district's significant enrollment of Native American and Alaska Native students, the funding particularly supports culturally responsive programming and academic services tailored to meet the unique needs of federally impacted student populations. The six-year award period reflects the sustained federal commitment to maintaining educational quality and infrastructure in this impacted school district located in Dunseith, North Dakota.
