Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Mobridge-Pollock School District 62-6 $147,202 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award supports financial assistance to the school district to offset revenue loss from the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—who reduce the district's local property tax base. Section 7003 assistance targets 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 working on Federal property or in the uniformed services.

The district serves K-12 students in Mobridge, South Dakota, with particular emphasis on Native American and federally connected populations. The award period runs through September 30, 2031. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible local educational agencies. The district must retain records supporting the payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
