Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $270,500 to Anderson School District 4 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7002). The award funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration across the district's K–12 programs in Pendleton, South Carolina. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the federal acquisition of real property has reduced the local tax base, compensating for the lost revenue that would otherwise fund education of children affected by federal activities. Anderson School District 4 qualifies under Section 7002, which assists 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 that property. Payments under the program are computed on a statutory formula basis and prorated if appropriations are insufficient; assistance is provided annually to eligible local educational agencies.
