Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $15.232 million to Clover Park School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award runs through September 30, 2031.

Clover Park School District, located in Tacoma, Washington, is a federally impacted school district serving K-12 students in the Lakewood area, with significant military-connected and federally impacted student populations. Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program provides assistance to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue resulting from Federal property tax exemptions that reduce the district's tax base and access to primary educational financing sources.
