Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $805,952 to Akron Central School on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003).

Akron Central School, a local government school district in Akron, New York, receives Impact Aid funding to offset the financial burden created by 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—whose families are exempt from local property taxes. The award supports K-12 educational services, with emphasis on Native American and educationally disadvantaged student populations. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise finance education in the district.

The performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments under Impact Aid are computed annually according to statutory formula and prorated if appropriations are insufficient. Akron Central School must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year and is subject to mail-in or on-site program reviews.
