The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Dodson Public Schools $1,103,340 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).
Dodson Public Schools, a rural school district serving K–12 students in Dodson, Montana, receives this assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the district. Under Section 7003, Impact Aid eligibility is triggered when a district enrolls at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance living on Federal property including Indian lands and/or with a parent working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The award supports the educational services and operations of the school district through its performance period, which runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031.
