Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Prince George County School Board $4.684 million under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award runs through September 30, 2031 and addresses the financial impact on the school district from federal land acquisition and the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal installations or on active duty in the uniformed services—which reduces the district's local property tax base. Prince George County, located in Prince George, Virginia near federal property and military installations, qualifies for assistance under Section 7003 when at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance live or have parents working on federal property. The district uses Impact Aid funding to support K-12 educational operations across academic programs and specialized services affected by reduced local tax revenue from federal property exemptions.
