Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $395,976 to Board of Education Charles County on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds support Charles County Public Schools' operations in La Plata, Maryland, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base or concentrate federally connected children in the district's enrollment. Section 7003 assistance is available to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent who works on federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and are made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
