Project Grant S041B265432

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded MT Adams School District #209 a $5.14 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) project grant effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, this award provides comprehensive financial support to address the adverse fiscal impact of federal activities on the school district's tax base. The funding supports kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services for a federally impacted population, including students residing on federal property (including Native American lands) and children of federal employees and uniformed services members.

The award enables MT Adams School District to maintain and enhance core educational services, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a rural school district serving a significant Native American student population in White Swan, Washington, the district utilizes Impact Aid funding to sustain educational quality and infrastructure despite the constrained local revenue capacity resulting from the substantial federal land presence in its jurisdiction. This six-year award represents a critical investment in the district's capacity to provide equitable educational opportunities to its federally connected student population.
