Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Chugach School District $195,128 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

Chugach School District, located in Anchorage, Alaska, receives Impact Aid funding to offset revenue lost due to the presence of federally connected children in its enrollment. Under Section 7003, the district qualifies because it educates at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance who live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The award supports the district's operational capacity to provide K–12 educational services to its community despite the tax-exempt status of Federal property that reduces the local property tax base.

The award runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Anchorage, Alaska. This is a project grant providing direct financial assistance to the LEA. Chugach School District has a documented track record of securing multiple federal grants for education, including prior Impact Aid awards, Small Rural School Achievement Program funding, and specialized STEM and ecological knowledge initiatives, demonstrating sustained federal funding partnerships.
