Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $14.277 million to San Carlos Unified School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant to replace local revenue lost due to the presence of federally connected children and Federal property within the district's tax base.

The award funds educational services for students in San Carlos, Arizona, where the district serves a Native American population. The district operates Rice Elementary School and provides comprehensive K-12 instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. Performance period extends through September 30, 2031, with place of performance at San Carlos, AZ 85550.

Under Section 7003 of Impact Aid, assistance flows 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 and/or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The recipient must retain records supporting payment amounts for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year.
