Federal Grant Award Summary

McCurdy Charter School received a $105,790 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's 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. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) affected by federal activities that reduce their local tax base. Under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid Program, McCurdy Charter School qualifies for assistance based on the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding is intended to replace lost local property tax revenue that would otherwise support the school's educational operations and services.

This award represents the fifth consecutive Impact Aid Project Grant that McCurdy Charter School has received since January 2021, demonstrating sustained federal investment in the institution's operational capacity and K-12 educational programming. The multi-year funding structure through September 2031 reflects the program's commitment to supporting schools with significant populations of federally connected students. Additionally, the school operates as a sub-grantee under Title I funding from the State of New Mexico Public Education Department, further supporting its mission to serve low-income student populations and enhance educational equity across its student body.
