Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Fort Sam Houston Independent School District received a $13.58 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 a military-connected student population adversely affected by federal land acquisition and military installation presence, which reduces the district's local tax base. The grant funds general instruction, special education, English language learner (ELL) services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and supplemental academic support at the district's facilities located at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The district delivers these services through a coordinated funding structure that incorporates sub-award allocations from the Texas Education Agency and Texas Department of Agriculture, including Title I supplemental resources for low-income students, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B formula funds for special education services across ages 3-21, Title II Part A professional development support, and child nutrition program funding. This multi-year award reflects the district's demonstrated compliance and capacity to serve federally connected student populations, including military-dependent and disadvantaged youth, through sustained engagement with federal educational funding since 2002.
