Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wapato School District $3.162 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award provides financial assistance to replace local education revenue lost through federal property tax exemptions and to support the education of federally connected children, including those living on Indian lands or with parents employed on federal property or in active duty military service. Wapato School District, a public K–12 local educational agency in Wapato, Washington, serves a student population with significant Native American representation. The funding period runs through September 30, 2031, with all work performed in Wapato, Washington. Impact Aid Section 7003 eligibility requires that at least three percent or 400 of the district's total federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property or have qualifying federal connections. Payments under Impact Aid are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and prorated if appropriations prove insufficient.
