Federal Grant Award Summary

Eagle Butte School District 20-1 received a $4.1 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district located in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, which serves a predominantly Native American student population. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base, including the presence of federal land and Indian reservations.

Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the grant funds educational services and operational support for a school district where federally connected children—including those living on federal property and Indian lands—comprise at least 3 percent of total average daily attendance. The district utilizes this funding to maintain and enhance educational programming, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration services that address the unique needs of its Native American student population.
