Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Farmington Municipal Schools $416,568 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award runs through September 30, 2031 and serves Farmington, New Mexico.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children — those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services — reduces the district's tax base and local revenue available for education. Farmington Municipal Schools qualifies under Section 7003, which assists districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.

The funding is assistance type Project Grant, obligated in the amount of $416,568. Payments are computed annually according to statutory formula and prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
