Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Box Elder School District #13-G $3,010,677 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds financial assistance to the school district to offset revenue loss resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the district. Under Section 7003, Box Elder qualifies because 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 and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The project grant carries a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Box Elder, Montana. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the tax base is reduced through federal acquisition of real property or where the enrollment of children living or working on federal property denies the district access to local property tax revenue. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs.
