Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $715,833 to Middle College High School on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds support general instruction, special education, English language learning services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training initiatives, and technology integration delivered to the school district's student population in Gallup, New Mexico. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2031. Middle College High School, a local educational agency serving a federally impacted region where federal land presence substantially reduces the local tax base, qualifies for assistance under Section 7003 based on enrollment of eligible federally connected children living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid program compensates school districts for lost local revenue resulting from the tax-exempt status of federal property within their boundaries.
