Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) awarded Mobridge-Pollock School District 62-6 a Project Grant of $137,298.00 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports educational services for federally connected student populations in Mobridge, South Dakota, including Native American students and children of federal employees or active-duty military personnel. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, enabling the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational programming.

The funding facilitates a broad range of educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a school district with federally connected children comprising at least 3 percent or 400 students in average daily attendance (ADA) residing on federal property or having parents employed on federal property, Mobridge-Pollock qualifies for Impact Aid assistance under Section 7003 to sustain educational infrastructure and services that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenue.
