The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the City of Bangor, Maine $109,766 under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025, to offset reduced local tax base due to the presence of federally connected students. The award runs through September 30, 2031, with performance in Bangor, Maine. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where federal property acquisition or the presence of children living or working on federal property reduces the district's tax base and revenue for education. Assistance is available to districts where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent working on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are computed on a statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs, with funds prorated if appropriations are insufficient. Recipients must retain records supporting payment amounts for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and are subject to mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data and collect additional required information.
