Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Lyman School District 42-1 $1,002,596 on October 1, 2025 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration across the district's operations. The performance period runs through September 30, 2031, with all work performed in Presho, South Dakota. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base available to fund education. Section 7003 eligibility requires that at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live or have a parent employed on Federal property or in the uniformed services. Payments are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient.
