Project Grant S041B265616

The School District of Crandon, Inc. received a $853,085 Project Grant award under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district located in Crandon, Wisconsin, which qualifies for assistance under Section 7003 due to the presence of federally connected children living on or near federal property, including Indian lands, and children with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base, enabling the district to maintain and enhance educational services in areas with diminished local revenue capacity.

The grant funding supports a range of educational services and operational enhancements, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training and professional development, and technology integration. These services directly address the educational needs of federally connected student populations, including Native American students and military-connected children, ensuring that the district can deliver quality educational programming despite the reduced tax base resulting from federal land presence in the region.
