Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $643,989 to Glades County School Board on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

Glades County School Board receives Impact Aid assistance to offset financial burden on the local educational agency from federally connected children whose parents work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to the school district, as Federal property is exempt from local property taxes and reduces the district's tax base.

The award covers a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Moore Haven, Florida. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs. The school board must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and the program office conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data.
