Project Grant S041B265674

Laramie County School District 1 received a $358,553 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, 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). 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—defined as those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding supports general instruction, special education, English language learner (ELL) programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration initiatives across the district's service area in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The Impact Aid Program authorization under Section 7003 targets local educational agencies serving populations with at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance, assisting districts where the federal presence would otherwise reduce the local tax base. Through this award, Laramie County School District 1 can sustain educational quality and academic support across multiple program areas while addressing the unique needs of military-connected and federally impacted student populations within its jurisdiction.
