Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pierre School District #32-2 a $268,643 Project Grant on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7002. The award, which obligates $268,643, runs through September 30, 2031, and serves the district's operations in Pierre, South Dakota. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where Federal property acquisition has reduced the local tax base; Section 7002 specifically supports districts where the Federal Government has acquired 10 percent or more of assessed valuation of real property since 1938 and the district is not substantially compensated by revenue from activities on that property. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. Pierre School District #32-2, a public school district serving the state capital, has been actively receiving federal grants since 2009 and maintains a grant portfolio focused on comprehensive K–12 educational programs, including services for American Indian and Alaska Native students, special education, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and student support services.
