Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Chamberlain School District 7-1 $121,610 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7002. The award runs through September 30, 2031, and provides financial assistance to the school district in Chamberlain, South Dakota, to offset revenue losses resulting from federal acquisition of real property within the district's jurisdiction. Section 7002 Impact Aid compensates local educational agencies where the federal government has acquired an aggregate of 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation since 1938, reducing the district's local tax base and limiting access to primary education funding sources. Chamberlain School District 7-1, a public K-12 school district serving the Chamberlain community, qualifies for this assistance type through direct award as a local educational agency. The district maintains active federal registration in SAM.gov through October 2026. Payments under Impact Aid are computed according to a statutory formula and made annually to eligible districts. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
