The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded El Paso County School District 12 (operating as Cheyenne Mountain School District 12) $136,984 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 on October 1, 2025. The award funds educational services for the school district over a six-year period of performance ending September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
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, or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue when Federal property exempt from local property taxes reduces a district's tax base and funding capacity. Payments are computed under a statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
