Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $2,226,751 to La Conner School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award supports financial assistance to the school district in La Conner, Washington, where the presence of eligible federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base available for education funding. Section 7003 assistance is available to districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance. The period of performance extends from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid helps replace lost local revenue that would otherwise finance education in districts affected by Federal acquisition of real property or the presence of federally connected populations exempt from local property taxation.
