Federal Grant Award Summary

Skyline Gila River Schools LLC received a $2.25 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district serving the Gila River region in Chandler, Arizona, where federal land presence and Native American reservations have reduced the local tax base. The funding enables the district 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 provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, particularly those with significant federal property holdings or military installations. Skyline Gila River Schools LLC qualifies under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which serves districts enrolling a minimum threshold of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance who live on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or in the uniformed services. The six-year performance period allows the district to sustain educational programming and operational continuity in a region with limited local revenue capacity.
