Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $385,506 to Lakeside Union School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant providing financial assistance to school districts where the presence of children living on Federal property reduces the local tax base and revenue available for education.

Lakeside Union School District, a K-12 school district serving Lakeside, California, receives Impact Aid funding because at least three percent or 400 of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or are connected to Federal property within its jurisdiction, including children with parents on active duty in the uniformed services or employed on Federal property. The district uses federal Impact Aid funding to support comprehensive educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The award obligates $385,506 for a performance period of October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Lakeside, California. The Impact Aid program provides annual payments to eligible LEAs computed on a statutory formula basis; payments are prorated if appropriations are insufficient. Lakeside Union School District has received ten prime federal grant awards since 2021, predominantly through the Impact Aid Program with project grants ranging from two to six years of performance.
