Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Coolidge School District $266,646 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts whose tax bases are reduced by Federal acquisition of real property or whose enrollments include federally connected children. Section 7003 eligibility applies to districts where at least three percent or 400 of total federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Coolidge School District serves diverse student populations including those from Native American communities and military families.

The award supports the district's K-12 educational operations in Coolidge, Arizona. Period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments under Impact Aid are computed according to statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs; if appropriations prove insufficient, payments are prorated. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year.
