Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Walatowa High Charter School $304,997 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) through a Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services at the school located in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, which serves a predominantly Native American student population in a federally impacted community. The funding supports general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic initiatives.

The Impact Aid Program targets local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities, including those with significant Native American reservation lands that reduce local tax bases. Walatowa High Charter School qualifies for this assistance as a school serving a federally connected student population on tribal lands. The six-year award period enables the school to maintain and enhance educational programming and infrastructure in a rural community with limited local revenue capacity.
