Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Arena Union Elementary School $115,646 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Arena Union Elementary School, located in Point Arena, California, is a local educational agency serving students in a rural community. The award funds financial assistance to replace revenue lost due to 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—whose families' property is exempt from local taxation. Section 7003 assistance is available to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have employment-related connections to Federal property.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments under Impact Aid are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. Recipients must retain records supporting payment amounts for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year. The program office conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data.
