Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $442,687 to Kadoka Area School District 35-2 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Section 7003 provides financial assistance to local educational agencies educating federally connected children—those living on Federal property, including Indian lands, or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Kadoka Area School District 35-2 qualifies where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live or work on eligible Federal property. The funding replaces revenue lost to the district because Federal property is exempt from local property tax, reducing the tax base available to finance education.

The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Kadoka, South Dakota. The assistance type is a Project Grant. Payments are computed annually on the basis of a statutory formula and prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
