Project Grant S041B265430

Mount Baker School District 507 received a $153,986 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 funding supports comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services for federally connected students in the Deming, Washington jurisdiction, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, and teacher professional development. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to school districts adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, with Section 7003 eligibility based on enrollment of federally connected children (those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services).

The grant enables Mount Baker School District 507 to maintain educational quality and infrastructure despite constrained local revenue capacity resulting from federal impact on the district's tax base. Funds will support initiatives aimed at improving academic achievement, providing supplemental educational support, strengthening teacher effectiveness, and ensuring equitable access to education for students in the federally impacted region.
