Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Gila County Regional School District received a Project Grant award of $158,362.00 from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports the school district's K-12 educational services in Globe, Arizona, an area where the local tax base has been adversely affected by federal activities, including proximity to Native American reservations and federal land holdings.

The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive educational services for federally connected students, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration initiatives. As a rural and economically challenged educational institution serving Gila County, the district utilizes Impact Aid Program resources to sustain educational quality in an area with reduced local revenue capacity due to federal property presence, thereby supporting students with significant federal connections through various federal activities.
