Federal Grant Award Summary

The Clarkdale-Jerome School District received a Project Grant award of $211,250.00 from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities, including those with significant federal land presence, military installations, or Native American reservations that reduce local tax bases. This award supports the district's delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services to federally connected student populations in Clarkdale, Arizona.

Through this funding, Clarkdale-Jerome School District will maintain and enhance educational programming including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a small rural school district serving the Clarkdale area, the district qualifies for Impact Aid assistance based on meeting the Section 7003 eligibility criteria, which requires at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance (ADA) living on federal property or having a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The six-year funding period enables sustained support for educational services in this federally impacted community.
