Federal Grant Award Summary

Taholah School District 77 received a $2,065,225 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 award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for students in Taholah, Washington, a region where federal land presence has reduced the local tax base. The funding enables the school district to maintain and enhance educational programming including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration, with particular focus on serving federally connected children and high-poverty student populations.

The Impact Aid Program is designed to provide financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, including those with significant military installations or Native American reservations. Under Section 7003 eligibility criteria, Taholah School District qualifies for support based on the enrollment of eligible federally connected children living on or near federal property and/or having parents employed on federal property or in active military service. This six-year project grant enables the district to sustain educational quality and operational capacity in an area where reduced local property tax revenue would otherwise constrain educational services.
