Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Liberty Eylau School District $112,785 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant providing financial assistance to school districts where Federal acquisition of real property has reduced the local tax base.

Liberty Eylau School District, located in Texarkana, Texas, received this award to help replace local revenue lost due to Federal property within the district that is exempt from local property taxation. The Impact Aid program compensates LEAs for the educational burden created by the presence of federally connected children and the loss of tax revenue from Federally acquired property.

The award obligates $112,785 with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Performance occurs in Texarkana, Texas. The district qualifies under Section 7002, which provides assistance to districts where an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation has been acquired by the Federal Government since 1938 and the district is not substantially compensated by revenue from activities on the eligible Federal property.
