Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Jemez Valley Public School District $1.896 million in project grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Jemez Valley Public School District, operating as Jemez Valley Schools and located in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, serves a federally impacted rural community with a high concentration of federally connected children living on tribal lands. The district provides comprehensive K–12 educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The Section 7003 assistance replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to the district, as federally connected students' families reside on Federal property exempt from local property taxes, reducing the district's tax base and access to primary education financing sources.

The funding is obligated at $1.896 million for the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico. The Section 7003 program provides assistance to 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, and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services.
