Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Unity School District $242,810 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) to provide financial assistance to the school district affected by federal activities that reduce its local tax base.

The award funds educational services for the district, which serves students in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies to pay for the education of 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. Under Section 7003, districts qualify for assistance when at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or are connected to federal property or military service.
