Project Grant S041B264222

Talihina School District received a $492,106 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the rural school district, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children (those living on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services) comprising at least three percent of the district's average daily attendance or 400 students.

The funding enables Talihina School District to maintain and enhance educational programming across multiple service areas, including general instruction, special education services, English language learning programs, school nutrition initiatives, career and technical education, professional development for teachers, and technology integration. These services are designed to support the district's diverse student population and address the educational needs of a community affected by the federal tax base implications of federally connected properties and military affiliations.
