Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $293,723 to Vector School District Inc. on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award funds services for federally connected children in the district's K–12 educational system. Vector School District Inc., a non-profit educational organization in Chandler, Arizona, serves a diverse student population including children with high percentages of federal connections, such as those residing on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or serving on active duty in the uniformed services. The district delivers comprehensive educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. The grant period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Chandler, Arizona. Impact Aid replaces lost local tax revenue for school districts where the tax base is reduced through federal acquisition of real property or where the presence of federally connected children creates educational service demands without corresponding local property tax contributions. Section 7003 assistance is available to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property or have a parent working on federal property or on active duty.
