Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $288,773 to Long County Board of Education on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Long County Board of Education, based in Ludowici, Georgia, is a local public school district that provides comprehensive K-12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher training. The assistance type is Project Grant.

The award funds educational services in the district where federally connected children—those living on federal property and/or having a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—create a financial burden on local revenues. Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have a parent working on federal property or in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local tax revenue that would otherwise fund education for these children, as federal property is exempt from local property taxation.

Period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Ludowici, Georgia.
