Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $226,668 to Gila County Office of Education, doing business as Liberty High School, on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award supports educational services for federally connected children in the Globe, Arizona area. Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school 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, including Indian lands, or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise finance education in districts where federally owned property is exempt from local property taxation.

The award obligates $226,668 for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031, with performance in Globe, Arizona. Liberty High School is a local government and school district entity that has consistently participated in federal grant-funded programs through the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Payments under Impact Aid are made annually to eligible LEAs on the basis of statutory formula; payments are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
