Federal Grant Award Summary

Fremont County School District 25 received a $271,607 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 supports the district's educational services in Riverton, Wyoming, where the presence of Native American reservation lands and federally connected children reduce the local tax base. Under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid Program, the district qualifies for assistance based on having at least 3 percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance who reside on federal property or tribal lands.

The grant funds comprehensive K-12 educational services tailored to the district's significant Native American student population, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learner programming, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. The award enables the district to maintain educational quality and continuity in a community where federal land presence substantially limits local revenue generation, consistent with the Impact Aid Program's objective to assist school districts adversely affected by federal activities.
