Federal Grant Award Summary

Silver Creek Central School District received a $769,384 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. Under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid Program, this funding supports the district's delivery of comprehensive K-12 educational services to students in Silver Creek, New York. The award specifically addresses the district's reduced local tax base resulting from federal property presence and federally connected student populations, including children living on federal property and those with parents employed on federal installations or in active military service.

The grant funds support a broad array of educational services and infrastructure, including general instruction, special education, English language learner programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration initiatives. These products and services are designed to maintain educational quality and continuity for the district's student population while compensating for the revenue loss resulting from federal land acquisition and the presence of federally connected children in average daily attendance.
