Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Chambersburg Area School District $518,364 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant to support educational operations in communities where federal property acquisition reduces the local tax base.

The award funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration for the district's K-12 student population in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The district qualifies for Impact Aid assistance because federal acquisition of real property within its boundaries has reduced assessed valuation by at least 10 percent since 1938, diminishing local tax revenue available for education.

The grant runs through September 30, 2031. Chambersburg Area School District, a local government school district entity registered in SAM.gov, is the direct recipient and performs the work at its location in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the final annual payment for each fiscal year. Payments are made annually and may be prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. An administrative law hearing is available to the district if it is adversely affected by any action of the Secretary.
