Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $101,717 to Oelrichs School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041). The award is obligated through September 30, 2031.

Oelrichs School District 23-3, a K-12 local educational agency in Oelrichs, South Dakota, receives this project grant to replace revenue lost due to Federal acquisition of real property within the district's tax base. Section 7002 Impact Aid assists school districts where an aggregate of 10 percent or more of 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 the eligible Federal property. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and are made annually to eligible LEAs. The district has a track record of securing multiple federal grants across the Impact Aid Program, Small Rural School Achievement Program, and Indian Education Formula Grants to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration for its rural student population.
