Federal Grant Award Summary

Kingston Public School District 3 received a $280,967 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003). This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for the impact of federal activities on its tax base and student population. The funding supports the district's ability to deliver comprehensive K-12 educational services to its student body, which includes a significant population of federally connected children—those living on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or on active military duty.

The district will utilize this funding to sustain and enhance educational programming and school support initiatives for its underserved student population. This encompasses academic instruction, special education services, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The award reflects the Impact Aid program's statutory formula-based allocation methodology, which determines payment amounts based on verified enrollment of federally connected children in average daily attendance, supporting the district's operational capacity to serve its community during the six-year award period.
