OverviewAbout This PublicationIn this publication, the National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS) catalogs how Section 7003 funds for FiscalYear (FY) 2020 were distributed to federally impacted school districts across the United States and its territories, based oninformation from the U.S. Department of Education Impact Aid payment database. At the time of writing in February 2022, FY2020 is the most recent year that final payments have been made to federally impacted school districts.The report features a list of school districts, by state, that received payments for Section 7003 – Basic Support, as well as keyImpact Aid-related data for each of those districts, including the payment the district received and the amount it would havereceived if the program were fully funded. In addition, the report includes the LOT percentage, total average daily attendance(ADA), total federally connected students in ADA by type, disability payment, and congressional district for each school district.Impact AidU.S. public school districts are financed through a combination of state and local revenue. Local funding comes from acombination of business and residential property taxes and fees and local sales tax.Because Federal land is exempt from taxation (as are many of the businesses and facilities located on that land), the land placesa financial burden on local school districts and taxpayers.School districts with Federal property—such as military installations, Indian Trust or Treaty lands, Federal low-rent housing andnational laboratories, national parks and other Federal buildings and lands—lose local revenue because of these non-taxableFederal activities. Impact Aid is a Federal education program that partially reimburses federally impacted school districts—thoselocated on or near Federal property—for this loss of locally-derived revenue. It ensures these districts are not at a financialdisadvantage and that the students they serve have access to the opportunities they need to meet their full potential.Impact Aid funding is direct, locally controlled and flexible. It goes directly to school districts, bypassing state involvement, andis used to support all students in the district, just like local tax revenue. It can be used for any general fund purpose, such asinstructional materials, teacher salaries, transportation, technology, social-emotional supports, extracurricular activities andfacilities. All decisions on how Impact Aid funds are spent are made locally, allowing great flexibility to ensure funds are targetedwherever needs are greatest.1

For FY 2020, Congress appropriated approximately 1.49 billion for Impact Aid, across five line items:Section7002 – Federal Property7003 – Basic Support7003(d) – Children with Disabilities7007 – Construction7008 – FacilitiesAppropriations 75.31 million 1.34 billion 48.32 million 17.41 million 4.84 millionNote: Appropriations increased in FY 2021Section 7003 – Basic SupportBasic Support payments reimburse school districts for the loss of tax revenue that occurs when families of students live or workon Federal property. Federally connected students include children of members of the uniformed services, children who reside onIndian lands, children who live in Federal low-rent housing and children whose parents are civilians working and/or living onother Federal land. There is additional funding dedicated to children of members of the uniformed services or children living onIndian lands who have disabilities.According to data from FY 2018, over half of Section 7003 recipients (52% or 562 total) are located in rural areas, compared to57% for the nation as a whole. In addition, 20% (or 221 school districts) are located in towns, which is similar to the nationalnumber of 18%, and 16% (or 171 districts) are suburban, which is closer to the national number of 20% than 7002. Twelvepercent of all 7003 districts are in cities, compared to 5% of districts nationally.Section 7003 is the largest component of the Impact Aid program in regards to both funding and the number of school districtsserved. To be eligible, a school district must educate at least 400 federally connected students in its average daily attendance(ADA), or those students must comprise at least three percent of its ADA.The Federal Government uses a formula to determine the amount of Section 7003 funding that a school district should receive—its full funding payment, also known as its maximum payment. Recognizing that there is varying tax loss associated with where afederally connected student lives, this formula assigns different weights for different categories of students: Indian lands,military on-base, military off-base, low-rent housing, civilian parent living and working on Federal land, and civilian parent livingor working on Federal land.Impact Aid has not been fully funded since 1969, which means school districts do not receive their full funding payments. Todistribute the available funds by need, Congress developed a formula known as the Learning Opportunity Threshold (LOT), whichmeasures how dependent a school district is on Impact Aid. Each district has a LOT percentage determined by the percent ofFederal students in its ADA and the percent that the maximum Impact Aid payment is of the district’s total current expenditures(TCE). The higher that percentage, the more of its full funding payment a district receives.2

FY 2020 Section 7003 – Basic Support National SnapshotFor FY 2020, Congress appropriated approximately 1.3 billion ( 1,340,242 to be exact) for Basic Support. It also appropriated 48.32 million to support special education services for military and Indian lands students.1,010 school districts are part of the Section 7003 – Basic Support program. Their calculated need totaled 2.23 billion.Note: This information comes from the U.S. Department of Education and is based on FY 2020 data.About NAFISThe National Association of Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS) represents the 1,100-plus federally impacted public schooldistricts that together educate more than 9 million students across the nation. Federally impacted school districts are thoselocated on or near nontaxable Federal property—including military installations; Indian Trust, Treaty and Alaska Native ClaimsSettlement Act lands; Federal low-rent housing facilities; and national parks, national laboratories and other Federal buildingsand property. These school districts, which are demographically and geographically diverse, receive Impact Aid, a Federaleducation program that reimburses school districts for the lost local revenue and additional costs associated with the presence ofFederal property.
