Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $157,499 to Alma School District 2 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds educational services for a federally connected student population in a K-12 setting. Alma School District 2, located in Alma, Nebraska, serves approximately 285 students across rural Harlan County and provides comprehensive public education including general instruction, special education, and supplemental academic programming. The award obligates $157,499 for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid supports school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—creates educational cost burdens uncompensated by local property tax revenue. Section 7002 assistance targets districts where the Federal Government has acquired 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation since 1938 and the district receives insufficient revenue from activities on eligible Federal property. Payments under Impact Aid are made annually on the basis of a statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient.
