Project Grant S041B261242

The School Board of Miami-Dade County received a $103,505.00 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the school district. Under Section 7003 eligibility criteria, Miami-Dade County qualifies because it serves students who live on federal property or have parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services, meeting the statutory threshold of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.

The funds support the district's general operations and educational services for the affected student population by compensating for the tax revenue loss associated to federal property exemptions from local property taxation. Impact Aid payments are computed annually using a statutory formula and enable the School Board of Miami-Dade County to maintain educational services and infrastructure for one of the nation's largest and most diverse public school districts serving over 337,000 students.
