Federal Grant Award Summary

Fremont County School District 38 received a Project Grant award of $3.78 million from the U.S. Department of Education's 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 to Arapahoe Elementary School and the broader school district, with particular emphasis on serving American Indian and Alaska Native students in the rural Wyoming community. The Impact Aid Program funding addresses the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence and Indian reservation lands within the district's service area.

The grant funds support a range of educational services and instructional programs, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a Title VII, Section 7003 Impact Aid award, this funding is specifically designated to assist school districts with significant percentages of federally connected children—those residing on federal or Indian trust lands and/or having parents employed on federal property or in active duty military service. The district's receipt of concurrent federal support through Indian Education Formula Grants further demonstrates its strategic focus on delivering culturally responsive educational programming and specialized academic support tailored to Native American student populations.
