Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $3,490,522 to Timber Lake School District 20-3 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award runs through September 30, 2031, and performance takes place in Timber Lake, South Dakota.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base available for education. Timber Lake qualifies under Section 7003, which serves 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 or have qualifying parental connections to Federal employment or military service. Payments are made annually to eligible local educational agencies based on a statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
