Federal Grant Award Summary

Poquoson City Schools received a $163,070 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 supports the school district's educational services and operations in Poquoson, Virginia, a locality affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the funding targets local educational agencies (LEAs) serving federally connected student populations, including children of military service members and those residing on federal property. The district uses these funds to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational programming, which may include general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, and technology integration.

As an active participant in federal education initiatives, Poquoson City Schools leverages Impact Aid funding alongside complementary federal programs to serve its student population. The award represents part of the district's broader portfolio of federal support, which also includes Department of Defense Education Activity grants for military-connected students and various sub-grants from the Commonwealth of Virginia for Title I programs, special education (IDEA Part B), teacher quality initiatives, and school nutrition services. These coordinated federal investments enable the district to provide comprehensive educational services and support to students across the Poquoson area.
