Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Prince William County Public Schools $304,022 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award supports the school district's operations in Manassas, Virginia, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—creates a fiscal burden by reducing the district's local tax base. Prince William County Public Schools qualifies under Section 7003 criteria, which apply to districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. The award is structured as a project grant, with payments made annually to eligible local educational agencies on the basis of a statutory formula.
