Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Neshoba County School District $709,350 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award, a project grant under Title VII, Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program, runs through September 30, 2031, and supports educational services for the district in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Section 7003 provides assistance to school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property including Indian lands and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies to pay for the education of children living or working on Federal property, since such property is exempt from local property taxes.
