Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Rocky Boy Schools $1.644719 million under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025.

Rocky Boy Schools, a local educational agency serving the Native American community in Box Elder, Montana, receives assistance under Section 7003 based on the enrollment of federally connected children living on or with parents employed on Federal property, including Indian lands, or with parents on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid program replaces lost local revenue from tax-exempt Federal property within the school district's tax base, enabling the LEA to fund education for children whose presence creates a financial burden that would otherwise reduce available education revenue.

The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Box Elder, Montana. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. The school district must retain records supporting the payment amount for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year.
