Project Grant S041B265389

Hood Canal School District 404 received a $580,935 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which serves a federally impacted rural area in Shelton, Washington. The Impact Aid Program is designed to compensate local educational agencies (LEAs) that experience reduced tax bases due to federal land presence or military installations, enabling them to maintain and enhance educational programs in areas adversely affected by federal activities.

The funding supports a range of educational services and initiatives, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a rural LEA serving a diverse student population with significant federally connected children enrollment, Hood Canal School District 404 utilizes Impact Aid funds to sustain educational quality and infrastructure in an area where federal property acquisition has reduced local revenue capacity. The six-year funding period demonstrates the program's commitment to providing sustained support for educational services in federally impacted communities.
