Federal Grant Award Summary

Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools received a $146,408 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), Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services for the school district, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence 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 general academic instruction, special education services, English language acquisition programs, school nutrition initiatives, career and technical education, and teacher professional development throughout the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools system.

The Impact Aid Program recognizes that school districts adversely affected by federal activities face constrained local revenue capacity and require sustained federal support to maintain educational quality. Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools demonstrates a pattern of sustained engagement with federal education programs, receiving multiple Impact Aid awards and functioning as both a prime grantee and sub-grantee for various U.S. Department of Education initiatives. The school district's receipt of this award reflects its eligibility as a federally impacted educational agency serving military-connected students and other federally connected populations within its jurisdiction in Williamsburg, Virginia.
