Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Grand Forks Air Force Base Public School District NO. 140 $4.335 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds K–12 educational services for military-connected students in Grand Forks, North Dakota, through September 30, 2031. Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces revenue lost to local educational agencies because Federal property is exempt from local property taxation. Grand Forks Air Force Base Public School District NO. 140 serves students associated with the nearby Grand Forks Air Force Base and funds general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, technology integration, curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling, and enrichment programs to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of this highly mobile population.
