The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $635,730 to Bossier Schools on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award runs through September 30, 2031, and serves a school district located in Benton, Louisiana, where federal activities have reduced the local tax base available for education funding. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to local educational agencies educating children whose families live or work on federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services, thereby offsetting lost local property tax revenue that would otherwise support district operations. Bossier Schools qualifies for assistance 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 or stationed on federal property. The district uses this and related federal grant mechanisms to support comprehensive K-12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration.
