Federal Grant Award Summary

Akron Central School District received a $751,723 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, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the district, which qualifies under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program due to the presence of federally connected children living on or near federal property, including Indian lands, and children with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports educational initiatives addressing the needs of Native American and educationally disadvantaged student populations served by the Akron Central School District in Akron, New York. Typical uses of Impact Aid funding include general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. These services are designed to maintain educational quality in school districts where federal land presence or military connections reduce the local tax base available for traditional school funding.
