Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Madison City Schools $387,721 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 on October 1, 2025. The award funds educational services for federally connected children—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—at place of performance Triana, Alabama. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected students creates educational costs that cannot be offset through local property tax revenue, since federal property is exempt from local taxation. Madison City Schools, a local government school district headquartered in Madison, Alabama, serves the Huntsville region and has secured multiple federal grants supporting military-connected students and schools in federally impacted areas. Under Section 7003, assistance flows to districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.
