Russell County Board Of Education

Russell County Board of Education, doing business as Russell County Schools, is a local educational agency serving the Jamestown and Russell County community in Kentucky. As a U.S. local government entity and school district, the organization provides federal grant funding support to maintain and enhance educational services and programs for students in its service area. The district has been registered with SAM.gov since September 2006 and maintains an active registration status through April 2026.

Russell County Schools has received consistent federal grant support through the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education via the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041). The district has secured five Project Grant awards under Title VII, Section 7002 of the Impact Aid Program, with the most recent award of $248,389 issued on October 1, 2025, extending through September 30, 2031. The preceding awards were issued on December 16, 2024, December 12, 2023, February 22, 2023, and February 1, 2022, with respective completion dates through 2030, 2029, 2028, and 2027. These grants fund the district's core educational operations and services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning programs, and other essential operational expenses. The Impact Aid Program specifically compensates school districts adversely impacted by the presence of federal land and properties that reduce the local tax base, ensuring Russell County Schools can maintain adequate educational programming and services despite potential financial challenges related to federal land presence within its service area.
