Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) awarded Killeen Independent School District (Killeen ISD) a $59.2 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) project grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This federal assistance supports Killeen ISD in maintaining and enhancing comprehensive K-12 educational services for students in the Killeen, Texas area, which has experienced a reduced local tax base due to federal activities, including military installations. The funding enables the district to deliver a full spectrum of educational programs, including general instruction, special education, English language learner (ELL) support, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration initiatives.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal land acquisitions or military presence that diminish local property tax revenues. Killeen ISD's eligibility under Section 7003 of Title VII indicates the district serves a significant population of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed at federal installations or in active military service. The six-year award period supports the district in sustaining educational quality and equity for its student population despite the compressed local revenue base, ensuring continuity of essential K-12 services and infrastructure necessary for student success.
