Project Grant S041B264591

Berkeley County School District received a Project Grant award of $345,110 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 the district's K-12 educational services in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, where the local tax base has been adversely affected by federal land presence or military installations. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive educational programming, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) that qualify under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which targets districts where at least three percent or 400 eligible 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. This award represents part of Berkeley County School District's broader federal funding portfolio, which also includes Head Start, American Rescue Plan, and various sub-grants through the South Carolina Department of Education supporting Title I, IDEA special education, Title II educator quality, and other federally mandated educational programs.
