Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Flandreau School District 50-3 $548,104 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), to provide financial assistance offsetting reduced local tax revenues caused by the presence of federally connected children and Federal property within the district's service area.

Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue for school districts where the tax base is reduced through Federal acquisition of real property or where a significant proportion of enrolled students live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Under Section 7003, Flandreau School District qualifies where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live or work on Federal property.

The award covers the six-year period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Flandreau, South Dakota. Flandreau School District 50-3, a local government educational entity serving the Flandreau community with particular focus on Native American students, has consistently received Impact Aid funding to support K–12 instruction and supplemental academic initiatives. Payments are made annually to eligible LEAs based on statutory formula and prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
