Project Grant S041B265612

The School District of Black River Falls Inc. received a $384,636 Project Grant 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 funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district adversely affected by federal activities that reduce its local tax base. The grant enables the district to maintain and enhance educational programming including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies serving federally connected populations, including children living on or near federal property, military installations, and Native American reservations. The School District of Black River Falls qualifies for support under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Education and Secondary Education Act, which targets districts with at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance. The six-year performance period reflects the program's commitment to sustained support for educational equity in communities where federal land presence or military activity has reduced property tax revenue available for school operations.
