Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Falcon School District 49 $493,044 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Section 7003.

The award supports general K-12 instructional services for the district, which serves over 19,000 students across the region. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal activities that reduce the local tax base through Federal property acquisition and by the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Section 7003 specifically assists districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or are connected to Federal property.

Performance runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Peyton, Colorado. Falcon School District 49 has received five prime Project Grants totaling over $4.6 million from the Impact Aid Program since October 2021, addressing general K-12 instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration. The district also holds significant federal awards from the Department of Defense Education Activity for military-connected student support and Spanish dual language immersion programs.
