Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Brookeland Independent School District $1,372,452 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7002), a Project Grant designed to offset revenue losses from federal land acquisition and support educational services for students affected by federal activities, including those residing on federal property or with parents in the uniformed services.

The award funds K–12 educational services at the district's location in Brookeland, Texas, with a period of performance through September 30, 2031. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts where the tax base is reduced by federal acquisition of real property or where federally connected children live on federal property, Indian lands, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Brookeland ISD is eligible under Section 7002 criteria, which generally requires that 10 percent or more of the district's assessed valuation of real property has been acquired by the Federal Government since 1938, and the district is not being substantially compensated by revenue from activities on eligible federal property.
