Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded New Town Public School District $2,956,790 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This project grant provides comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services to a school district serving a significant Native American student population in New Town, North Dakota. The funding supports general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration.

The award recognizes the district's status as a federally impacted school district under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, which assists local educational agencies where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. By providing sustained federal support over the six-year performance period, this award compensates for reduced local tax revenue capacity and enables New Town Public School District to maintain educational quality and infrastructure necessary to serve its student population effectively.
