Federal Grant Award Summary

Mad River Local School District received a Project Grant award of $907,642 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to offset revenue losses resulting from the federal government's acquisition of real property within the district's boundaries, which has reduced its local tax base. The Section 7003 funding is designed to support districts where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports the district's ability to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services across its Beavercreek Township, Ohio service area. These services encompass general classroom instruction, special education, English language learner programs, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. By providing direct financial assistance to federally impacted school districts, the Impact Aid Program enables Mad River Local School District to sustain educational quality and student outcomes despite the reduced local tax revenue caused by federal property acquisition within its jurisdiction.
