Federal Grant Award Summary

Inchelium School District 70 received a $1,448,056 Project Grant award from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This federal funding is designated to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in a rural school district significantly affected by federal land presence, which substantially reduces the local tax base. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) where at least 3% or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

Under this grant, Inchelium School District 70 will deliver educational programs and services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The six-year funding period enables the district to maintain and enhance educational opportunities for its student population while addressing the fiscal challenges inherent to school districts with significant federal land presence that limits local revenue generation.
