Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Ganado Unified School District $10.031 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant to support educational services for federally connected children.

Ganado Unified School District, located in Ganado, Arizona, within the Navajo Nation, serves a predominantly American Indian and Alaska Native student population. The award funds educational initiatives and operations at the district's place of performance in Ganado, AZ 86505. The period of performance extends from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031.

Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue for school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property including Indian lands or having a parent working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—places a financial burden on the district. Ganado Unified School District qualifies under Section 7003 as a district where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or have a federally connected parent. The district uses Impact Aid funding to support comprehensive K-12 educational services, including academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and cultural heritage preservation.
