Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Fort Yates School District 4 $1,105,096 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. The award funds educational services at Fort Yates Middle School in Fort Yates, North Dakota, serving a predominantly Native American student population on federal lands. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2031. Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies because federally held property is exempt from local property taxes. Payments are computed on a statutory formula and made annually to eligible recipients.
