Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wylie Independent School District $223,424 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041).

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where Federal property acquisition has reduced the tax base and diminished local revenue available for education. Wylie ISD, located in Wylie, Texas, qualifies under Section 7002 because the district has lost assessed valuation through Federal acquisition of real property within its boundaries. The award compensates for revenue lost to property tax exemptions on Federally-held land.

The funding period extends from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments under Impact Aid are computed using a statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The district must retain records supporting the payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and the program office conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data and collect required information.

This is the most recent of five Impact Aid awards Wylie ISD has received under Section 7002, with prior project grants awarded on December 16, 2024; November 22, 2023; February 22, 2023; and January 25, 2022. The district also holds federal sub-grant funding for special education services under IDEA Part B, early childhood special education, Career and Technical Education, pandemic-related ESSER programs, and homeless assistance.
