Federal Grant Award Summary

Sweetwater County School District Number One received a Project Grant award of $103,546.00 from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, eligible districts receive annual payments computed using a statutory formula based on the number and concentration of federally connected students in average daily attendance.

The funding supports the district's ability to maintain educational services and infrastructure in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, by replacing revenue that would otherwise be unavailable due to the tax-exempt status of federal properties within the district's jurisdiction. Impact Aid payments enable the district to allocate resources toward K-12 education delivery, facility operations, and student support programs. This award represents part of the district's broader federal funding portfolio, which also includes nutrition programs, Head Start services, and academic enrichment initiatives administered through multiple federal agencies and state pass-through funding mechanisms.
