Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $4.388 million to Eagle Butte School District 20-1 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds educational services for the school district serving Eagle Butte, South Dakota through September 30, 2031. Section 7003 Impact Aid assists school 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. Payments under Impact Aid replace lost local revenue from property tax exemptions on Federal property, helping offset the financial burden placed on local educational agencies that educate federally connected children. Eagle Butte School District 20-1, a local government school district primarily serving Native American students in South Dakota, receives the funds to support comprehensive K-12 educational services addressing the unique needs of its federally connected student population.
