Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Columbia School District 206 $256,668 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The funding supports educational services for Columbia School District 206 in Hunters, Washington, a local educational agency serving students who live on or have parents working on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. The award covers the period from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue when Federal property within a school district's boundaries is exempt from property taxes, reducing the district's tax base and primary source of education funding. Under Section 7003, Columbia School District 206 qualifies because it enrolls at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance or serves children with a parent employed or on active duty on Federal property.
