Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Queets Clearwater School District 20 a Project Grant totaling $384,954.00 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the school district's ability to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services in Forks, Washington, a rural area with significant federal connections. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, particularly those serving federally connected children (including students from Indian lands and families with parents in uniformed services) or located on federal property that reduces the local tax base.

Under this award, Queets Clearwater School District 20 will utilize funding to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The six-year funding commitment demonstrates the Department of Education's sustained support for this rural school district's capacity to deliver educational services to its K-12 student population in a region where federal land presence or military connections have reduced the district's local revenue generation capacity.
