Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded MT Adams School District #209 $5.492 million under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 on October 1, 2025.

The district, located in White Swan, Washington, serves a community with significant federal land presence, including Native American lands. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the enrollment 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—reduces the local tax base available for education funding. This award supports the district's comprehensive educational services, including cultural programming, academic instruction, special education services, English language learning, and targeted support for Native American and rural student populations.

The award carries a period of performance through September 30, 2031. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, MT Adams School District qualifies as an eligible local educational agency 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, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to the district.
