Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Harrison School District Two $219,128 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award period runs through September 30, 2031, and performance occurs in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts educating federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Harrison School District Two qualifies where at least three percent or 400 of its total average daily attendance consists of eligible federally connected children. The program replaces local revenue lost when Federal property within the district is exempt from local property taxation, reducing the tax base available to fund education. Payments are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year. The funding is assistance to a local educational agency, not a procurement contract.
