Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Mascoutah Community Unit School District $21.003731 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003). The award funds educational services for federally connected students, including general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. Performance occurs in Mascoutah, Illinois, with a period of performance through September 30, 2031. The district educates kindergarten through twelfth-grade students, with significant enrollment of children living on or whose parents work at Scott Air Force Base. Impact Aid assists school districts where the presence of federally connected children places a financial burden on local educational agencies, as Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. Section 7003 provides assistance to districts where at least three percent or 400 of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are made annually and computed on a statutory formula basis.
