Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Alaska Gateway School District $870,042 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant.

Alaska Gateway School District, located in Tok, Alaska, serves rural Alaskan communities and operates as a public educational institution providing comprehensive K-12 educational services with emphasis on federally connected and Indigenous student populations. The award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031.

Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property including Indian lands and/or have a parent who work on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies to pay for the education of these children, since Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs.
