Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Killeen Independent School District $63.264 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Section 7003, with performance extending through September 30, 2031.

The award funds core educational programs including general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning initiatives, career and technical education, teacher professional development, school nutrition programs, and technology integration in Killeen, Texas. As a Section 7003 recipient, the district receives Impact Aid to offset revenue loss caused by the presence of federally connected students—those residing on federal property or with parents on active military duty or working on federal installations—whose families do not contribute to the local tax base.

The district also coordinates Impact Aid funding alongside other federal grant programs including Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act allocations to deliver integrated services across its jurisdiction. Killeen ISD operates as a sub-recipient on 64 awards flowing from the Texas Education Agency, covering Title I Part A, Title II Part A, Title III Part A, Title IV Part A, IDEA-B formula and discretionary components, Perkins Career and Technical Education, and Title I School Improvement grants. A single sub-award from the Texas Department of Agriculture supports a local food service program.
