Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Tularosa Municipal Schools $861,378 in Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 funding on October 1, 2025. This project grant supports K-12 educational services for the school district located in Tularosa, New Mexico, where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—creates a financial burden on the local educational agency. The district qualifies for assistance under Section 7003, which provides funding to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live or are connected to Federal property or military service. The grant period runs from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. Tularosa Municipal Schools, registered as a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving non-profit organization, uses Impact Aid funding to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and supplemental academic programs.
