Federal Grant Award Summary

The Cumberland School District received a $192,963 Project Grant award dated October 1, 2025, from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. This funding, with a completion date of September 30, 2031, supports the district's provision of comprehensive kindergarten through 12th-grade educational services in Cumberland, Wisconsin. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, such as federal land acquisitions or military installations that reduce local tax bases. Section 7003 specifically targets school districts where at least three percent or 400 of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, have parents employed on federal property, or have parents on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding enables Cumberland School District to maintain and enhance educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a public school district, Cumberland leverages this federal support to sustain educational operations and services for its student population while managing federal compliance requirements, which include maintaining records supporting the payment amount for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year, as prescribed under 34 CFR 222.
