Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $954,912 to Iditarod Area School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003.

Iditarod Area School District, operating as Blackwell School in Eagle River, Alaska, serves eight schools across seven Native villages in a 75,000 square mile region of the Alaskan interior. The award provides financial assistance to offset the educational burden created by the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent on active duty in the uniformed services—whose families are exempt from local property taxes, thereby reducing the district's tax base and primary revenue source.

The grant period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Eagle River, Anchorage, Alaska. This is a project grant providing assistance under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, which supports school districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance.
