Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $1.891 million to MC Nary Elementary School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the district's local tax base. MC Nary Elementary School District qualifies under Section 7003, which assists districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. The award supports general K-12 educational services in McNary, Arizona, through September 30, 2031, offsetting the revenue loss from Federal property exempt from local taxation.

MC Nary Elementary School District serves a rural community in Pinetop, Arizona, with particular focus on Native American students. The district has consistently received Impact Aid and other Federal education grants supporting comprehensive instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and supplemental academic programs.
