Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $560,408 to Walker Independent School District 113 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

The award funds educational services at Walker Elementary School in Walker, Minnesota, where the school district educates children living on or connected to Federal property, offsetting lost local tax revenue that would otherwise support these students' education. Section 7003 assistance targets districts where at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The award period runs through September 30, 2031. Walker Independent School District 113, a local government entity serving K–12 students in the Walker area, has received multiple federal education grants supporting core academics, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, consistent with General Education Provision Act requirements, and is subject to mail-in or on-site reviews by program staff to verify application data.
