Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Flandreau School District 50-3 received a $511,398 Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, this funding compensates the district for reduced local tax revenues resulting from the presence of federally connected children—those residing on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or in active military service. The award supports the district's continued delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services to the Flandreau, South Dakota community, with particular emphasis on serving Native American students.

The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance core educational services including general academic instruction, special education programs, English language learning, school nutrition initiatives, and teacher professional development. As a federally impacted school district serving a significant population of Native American students, Flandreau School District 50-3 utilizes Impact Aid formula-based allocations to sustain educational quality and infrastructure that would otherwise be constrained by the limited local revenue capacity resulting from federal land holdings within its jurisdiction.
