Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Adams County School District 14 $3,481,598 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025, to provide financial assistance to a school district where federal property acquisition reduces the local tax base and limits revenue available for education.

Adams County School District 14, located in Commerce City, Colorado, serves a student population that includes a significant number of federally connected children whose presence on federal property or military installations reduces the district's assessed property value and tax base. The Impact Aid Program compensates eligible school districts by replacing lost local revenue that would otherwise fund K–12 educational services.

The award obligates $3,481,598 with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, and place of performance in Denver, Colorado 80022. Payments under Impact Aid are computed using a statutory formula and made annually to eligible local educational agencies. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year and remains subject to mail-in or on-site reviews conducted by program staff to verify application data.
