Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Juniper Tree Academy, doing business as Desert View Academy, $111,865 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025.

Desert View Academy, a tax-exempt nonprofit K-12 educational institution located in Yuma, Arizona, received this project grant to support operations at a school serving a federally connected student population. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the enrollment of children living on Federal property or with parents employed on Federal property reduces the school district's tax base and local revenue. Under Section 7003, assistance flows to districts where at least three percent or 400 of total enrolled federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Yuma, Arizona. Desert View Academy has received five prime grant awards under this program between February 2023 and October 2025, all extending through September 2031. The organization also carries sub-award funding through the Arizona Department of Education for special education services, English language learner support, and targeted intervention programs serving students with diverse needs.
