Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Ellicott School District 22 $655,799 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award funds educational services for students living on or with parents employed on Federal property or in active military service. Section 7003 assistance targets school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total average daily attendance comprises federally connected children; payments replace revenue lost when Federal property remains tax-exempt. The district serves Calhan, Colorado.

The performance period runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually; funds are prorated if Congressional appropriations prove insufficient. School districts receiving assistance must retain records supporting their payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and remain subject to mail-in or on-site program reviews verifying application data and compliance with audit requirements under 2 CFR Subpart F.
