Federal Grant Award Summary

La Conner School District received a $2,080,600 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 supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district located in La Conner, Washington, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children (those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services) representing at least three percent of total average daily attendance. The funding enables La Conner School District to maintain and enhance educational services that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal land presence.

The grant provides financial assistance to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As documented in the district's grant history, Impact Aid funding integrates with other federal programs including Special Education (IDEA Part B), Title I programs, and other educational initiatives to deliver comprehensive services to the school community. This award reflects the federal government's commitment to supporting local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that diminish their local tax bases.
