Federal Grant Award Summary

Copperas Cove Independent School District (CCISD) received a $323,908 Project Grant award 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, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which serves a significant population of military-connected students due to its proximity to a major military installation in Copperas Cove, Texas. The Impact Aid Program funding is designed to offset the reduced local tax base that results from federal land presence and military installations, enabling the district to maintain and enhance educational infrastructure and programming.

Under Section 7003 eligibility criteria, CCISD qualifies for assistance based on enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who either live on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The grant funds support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration services across the district's K-12 student population during the six-year performance period.
