Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded County Of Glacier School Dist 50 (operating as East Glacier Park Elem School) $142,294 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award provides financial assistance to the school district to offset revenue lost when federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—attend public schools in a district where that property is exempt from local property taxes. Under Section 7003, assistance is available to districts where 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, or have a parent employed on Federal property or in active duty military service.

The recipient is a local government school district serving East Glacier Park, Montana, a rural community with a substantial Native American population. Performance runs through September 30, 2031. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on the basis of a statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs; funds are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
