Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wilmot School District 54-7 $196,491 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award runs through September 30, 2031, and funds are performed in Wilmot, South Dakota.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the district's local property tax base. Under Section 7003, districts become eligible when at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or meet the employment and military service criteria. The assistance replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise fund education of these children. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually. The source does not specify what programmatic activities or services the award will support.
