Federal Grant Award Summary

The Sparta Area School District received a $114,550 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which qualifies for Impact Aid funding due to the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding supports the district's ability to maintain and enhance educational programs in areas where federal activities have reduced the local tax base.

Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the district must demonstrate that at least three percent or 400 of its total average daily attendance consists of eligible federally connected children to maintain funding eligibility. The award supports the district's educational initiatives and student services across its jurisdiction in Sparta, Wisconsin, enabling the district to continue delivering instruction, special education services, English language learning, and other educational enhancements to its student population through the award's completion date in September 2031.
