Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Fairborn City School District $182,747 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003, to support students whose parents work or live on federal property. The award runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Fairborn, Ohio. Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts educating at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who live on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The program helps replace local revenue lost when federal property, exempt from local property taxes, reduces the district's tax base and primary source of education funding. Payments are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
