Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $513,152 to Indian Island Penobscot School Committee on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003.

The recipient is a Tribal Government and Minority Institution local educational agency serving Native American students in Calais, Maine. The award funds educational services for federally connected children, including those living on Indian lands and those with parents working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Impact Aid replaces local revenue lost when Federal property, exempt from local property taxes, reduces the tax base available to fund K–12 education.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Work is performed in Calais, Maine. Payments under the Impact Aid program are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. The Indian Island Penobscot School Committee is registered in SAM.gov and also receives sub-awards from the Maine Department of Education supporting nutrition programs and special education services under IDEA.
