Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Alamogordo Public Schools $771,587 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award supports educational services for the district, which serves a significant military-connected student population due to its proximity to Holloman Air Force Base. Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school 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 who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue that school districts forgo because Federal property is exempt from local property taxes.

The period of performance extends through September 30, 2031. Performance occurs in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The assistance type is a Project Grant. Alamogordo Public Schools has received six Impact Aid Program grants from the Department of Education spanning October 2021 through October 2025, supporting general instruction, special education, English language learning, and career and technical education across the district.
