Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Lackland Independent School District $10.580256 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award funds educational services for military-connected students in the district through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is 1701 Kenly Ave #134, Lackland AFB, TX 78236.

Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Lackland ISD qualifies as a district substantially impacted by the presence of Lackland Air Force Base, which reduces the local tax base and denies the district access to property tax revenue otherwise available to finance education. The Impact Aid program replaces lost local revenue through annual payments computed on a statutory formula basis.
