Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded San Juan School District $9.338 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Blanding, Utah.

Section 7003 assistance supports school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. San Juan School District, a K-12 public school district serving a significant Native American student population, uses Impact Aid funding to support comprehensive educational services including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and technology integration. These services help Native American students meet state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage and ensuring equitable access to educational resources. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type providing time-limited funding for specific initiatives rather than ongoing operational support.
