Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Albuquerque Public School District $372,371 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025, for a project period ending September 30, 2031.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where federal activities—including the presence of federally connected children living on federal property, including Indian lands, or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduce the local tax base and revenue available for education. Section 7003 eligibility requires that at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have connections to federal property.

Albuquerque Public School District, the largest school district in New Mexico with 68,346 students across 88 elementary schools, 31 middle schools, 13 high schools, 3 K-8 schools, and 6 schools of choice, serves a highly diverse population including students in urban, suburban, rural areas, and schools on tribal lands such as a remote area of the Navajo Nation. The district's student population includes 79 percent qualifying for free or reduced lunch and 19 percent English language learners. Work is performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
