Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Nett Lake School District 707 $650,335 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award runs through September 30, 2031 and is classified as a Project Grant.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the tax base is reduced by Federal acquisition of real property or where federally connected children—those living on Federal property including Indian lands or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—create an educational funding burden. Nett Lake School District 707, which operates Nett Lake Elementary School in Orr, Minnesota, serves a rural community with an emphasis on Native American education. The district is eligible under Section 7003 of the program, which applies where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have connections to Federal property.

The Impact Aid funding supports educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher training at the district's location in Orr, Minnesota.
