Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Rocky Mountain School District 24 $306,241 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

The award provides financial assistance to the school district to replace revenue lost because federally connected children—those living on Federal property including Indian lands or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—attend school in a district where that property is tax-exempt. The district qualifies under Section 7003 because at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have parents working on Federal property or in the uniformed services.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Performance and administrative oversight are in Stilwell, Oklahoma. Payments are made annually based on a statutory formula. The district must retain records supporting the payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
