Federal Grant Award Summary

Redwood Falls Public Schools received a Project Grant award of $195,560.00 from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This funding supports educational services for Redwood Valley Middle School in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, which qualifies for Impact Aid assistance due to the presence of federally connected children—defined as students living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The award provides financial assistance to offset the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence in the school district's jurisdiction.

The grant funds comprehensive K-12 educational programming and services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a local educational agency meeting the Section 7003 threshold of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance, Redwood Falls Public Schools utilizes this federal support to maintain educational quality and accessibility for its student population, particularly those with federal connections.
