Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Two Rock Union School District $795,827 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. The award funds comprehensive educational programming for a school district adversely impacted by 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. The district serves kindergarten through grade 12 students in Petaluma, California. Performance runs through September 30, 2031. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the tax base is reduced because Federal property is exempt from local property taxes, thereby replacing lost local revenue used to finance education. The district has established a history of federal grant participation focused on rural school support, with prior awards supporting general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic programs.
