Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Arlee Joint School District #8 (Arlee Elementary) $718,003 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. The award funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration services. Performance runs through September 30, 2031, at Arlee, Montana. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children or federal property acquisition reduces local tax revenue; Arlee Elementary serves students living on federal property and those with parents working on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The district has received consecutive annual Impact Aid Project Grant awards since October 2021 and holds sub-grantee designations under three additional federal programs managed through the Montana Office of Public Instruction: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III), School Nutrition Program, and Title II Teacher Quality Program.
