Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $8.376498 million to the Menominee Indian School District on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

The award funds educational services for the school district, which serves the Menominee Indian Reservation in Keshena, Wisconsin. Section 7003 Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where federally connected children—those living on Federal property or whose parents work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services—create a financial burden because such property is exempt from local property taxes. The Menominee Indian School District qualifies where at least three percent or 400 of its total average daily attendance comprise eligible federally connected children.

Performance runs through September 30, 2031. The district has a history of substantial prime grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, including earlier Impact Aid awards and Indian Education Formula Grants, supporting general instruction, special education, English language learning, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, and culturally relevant academic programming. The district also receives sub-grants from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction covering Title I, IDEA Part B, Title II-A, and other programs focused on supporting students with disabilities and ensuring educational equity for Native American students.
