Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $3.213954 million to Muroc Joint Unified School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award runs through September 30, 2031.

Muroc Joint Unified School District, located in Edwards, California near Edwards Air Force Base, serves a military-connected student population. Section 7003 of Impact Aid 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 from property tax exemptions on Federal property, which reduces the tax base available to local educational agencies.

The recipient uses Impact Aid funding to support comprehensive K-12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs.
