Federal Grant Award Summary

The Willamina School District received a $402,363 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). This federal funding supports the district's comprehensive K-12 educational services in Willamina, Oregon, addressing the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence and federally connected student populations in the district. The grant provides financial assistance to maintain and enhance core educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program funding enables the Willamina School District to sustain educational operations for students with federal connections, including those living on federal property or with parents employed by the federal government or serving in the uniformed services. As a school district serving a federally impacted community, Willamina qualifies for assistance under Section 7003 of the program, which targets local educational agencies (LEAs) with at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. This grant award demonstrates continued federal commitment to supporting educational equity in districts adversely affected by federal activities.
