Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Pemberton Township Board of Education $1.424 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds comprehensive K-12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration serving approximately 5,000 students in Pemberton, New Jersey. The performance period extends through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on or whose parents work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base, denying districts access to property tax revenue used to finance education. Pemberton Township qualifies under Section 7003, which assists districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or have a parent employed or on active duty on Federal property.
