Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded ST Ignatius School District 28 in St. Ignatius, Montana $1.29192 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).

The award funds financial assistance to replace lost local tax revenue caused by the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—who reduce the school district's tax base. Under Section 7003, districts with at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance are eligible for Impact Aid payments.

The performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. ST Ignatius School District 28 is a local government educational institution providing K-12 comprehensive educational services to students in the St. Ignatius community. The award represents a Project Grant, with funds obligated at the full stated amount. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on the basis of a statutory formula and made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
