Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $1,190,249 to Indian Township Passamaquoddy School Committee on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds educational services for eligible federally connected children in the Calais, Maine area through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid compensates local educational agencies for lost property tax revenue resulting from the presence of children living on or connected to Federal property, including Indian lands, whose education creates a financial burden on the receiving school district. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. The recipient, doing business as Maine Indian Education, is a federally recognized tribal government and educational institution that provides K-12 educational services tailored to Native American students, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration.
