Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Waubay School District $1,694,921 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. The award period runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal activities that reduce the local tax base, including districts where federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—create an educational burden without corresponding property tax revenue. Waubay School District, located in Waubay, South Dakota, is eligible under Section 7003 because it serves a significant number of federally connected children, including students from Native American communities. The district serves K-12 students and has received consistent Federal support through Indian Education Formula Grants and Impact Aid for educational initiatives spanning general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
