Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Yuma Elementary School District 1 $159,903 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award runs through September 30, 2031, and funds educational services for the district serving Yuma, Arizona.

Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to 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, including Indian lands, and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to school districts to pay for the education of these children, whose families' Federal property exemption from local property taxes reduces the tax base available to finance education.

Yuma Elementary School District 1, a local government school district located at 450 W 6th Street in Yuma, Arizona, has demonstrated significant capacity in managing federal grant programs across multiple funding agencies. The district receives federal support for academic instruction, professional development for educators, special education services, English language acquisition support, and targeted services for military-connected and other specialized student populations.
