Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $923,884 to Ojibwe Charter School on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award extends through September 30, 2031. Ojibwe Charter School, located in Superior Township, Michigan, serves a predominantly Native American student population in grades K–12. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the tax base available to fund education. Under Section 7003, assistance flows to districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. Payments are made annually to eligible LEAs on the basis of a statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient. Ojibwe Charter School has received multiple federal grants supporting educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration, alongside sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Education and USDA nutrition programs.
