The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $215,598 to Yelm Community Schools on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The recipient is a public school district in Yelm, Washington, serving students in the Yelm area. The award period runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Yelm, Washington.
Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to school districts where federally connected children—those living on Federal property, including Indian lands, or with a parent working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—represent at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible students in average daily attendance. These children would otherwise reduce the district's tax base and local revenue capacity. The program helps replace lost local revenue that districts cannot access through property taxation on Federal property. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
