Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $158,297 to Perry Central Community School on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7002), to support comprehensive K-12 educational services including general academic instruction, special education, English language learner programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. The award runs through September 30, 2031, and is obligated in full at $158,297. Perry Central Community School is located in Leopold, Indiana, in a district where federal property acquisitions have reduced the local tax base available for education funding. Impact Aid compensates the school district for lost local revenue resulting from the tax exemption of federally acquired real property, enabling the district to serve students living on or connected to federal property without access to full local tax support. This is one of four distinct Impact Aid awards the district currently holds, with completion dates spanning through September 2031.
