Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Copperas Cove Independent School District $3,106,624 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award supports financial assistance to the school district, which educates federally connected children—those living on Federal property and those with parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Copperas Cove Independent School District serves military-connected students due to its proximity to a major military installation; the presence of these children reduces the district's local tax base, as Federal property is exempt from local property taxation. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise fund education for these children. The project period runs through September 30, 2031, with performance in Copperas Cove, Texas. This is a Project Grant assistance type award. The district has received at least $597,141 in Impact Aid prime grants across multiple cycles since January 2022, demonstrating sustained eligibility and capacity in managing federally funded educational initiatives.
