Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Kelliher School District 36 (Kelliher Public Schools) $983,538 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025. The award funds educational services for K–12 students in Kelliher, Minnesota through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the presence of federally connected children—those living on or whose parents work on federal property or are in active duty military service—reduces the tax base available to fund education. Under Section 7003, Kelliher School District 36 qualifies 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 or have parents employed on federal property or in the uniformed services. The award is a Project Grant, with funds obligated for the full period of performance. Kelliher School District 36, a rural local government entity in northeastern Minnesota, serves comprehensive educational needs including general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration across its schools.
