The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $5.969 million to Sanders Unified School District 18 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Section 7003.
Sanders Unified School District 18, located in Sanders, Arizona, received the award to provide financial assistance to the district affected by the presence of federally connected children living on or near Federal property, including Indian lands. Section 7003 Impact Aid supports school districts 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 parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The award replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to the district to educate these children, as property used for Federal purposes is exempt from local property taxes.
The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Sanders, Arizona. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
