Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $183,045 to Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant.

The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts affected by Federal activities, specifically where the presence of federally connected children — those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services — creates a financial burden on local educational agencies because such property is exempt from local property taxes. Section 7003 eligibility requires that at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The award helps replace lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to the district to pay for the education of these children.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Work is performed in Williamsburg, Virginia. Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools, a local government school district headquartered in Williamsburg, Virginia, serves as the recipient.
