Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $3.435 million to Harlem School District 12 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds educational services for a school district serving a significant Native American student population in rural Harlem, Montana, where the presence of federal property reduces the local tax base available for education. The recipient operates Harlem Elementary School and Harlem JR SR High School, providing comprehensive K–12 educational services. Performance runs through September 30, 2031, with work performed in Harlem, MT 59526. Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides assistance to districts where at least three percent or 400 of total federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent working on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
