Federal Grant Award Summary

Belton Independent School District received a $187,685 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support the district's K-12 educational services in response to the reduced local tax base resulting from federal property presence within the school district's jurisdiction. Under Section 7003, the district qualifies for assistance based on enrollment of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports Belton ISD's comprehensive educational operations and services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. The award represents recognition of the district's need for federal financial support to maintain and enhance educational services for students whose presence is associated with federal activities. As a direct prime grantee, Belton ISD has demonstrated consistent participation in the Impact Aid Program with five consecutive awards dating from October 2021 through the current award period extending through September 2031.
