Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Fort Sam Houston Independent School District $14.519 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a project grant supporting educational services through September 30, 2031.

The award funds comprehensive K-12 educational services for military-connected and disadvantaged students, including special education, English language learner support, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, and supplemental academic services. Fort Sam Houston Independent School District serves the military-connected student population near Fort Sam Houston military installation in San Antonio, Texas. The district receives pass-through sub-award funding from the Texas Education Agency and Texas Department of Agriculture, including Title I resources for low-income students, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B formula funds for special education services across ages 3-21, Title II Part A professional development support, and child nutrition program funding.

Place of performance is 2330 Stanley Road, Fort Sam Houston, Texas 78234. The Impact Aid program 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—creates a financial burden because such property is exempt from local property taxes, reducing the district's primary revenue source for education.
