Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $438,742 to Kingston Public School District 3 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7002 (CFDA 84.041).

Kingston Public School District 3, serving Kingston, Oklahoma, will use Impact Aid funding to replace local revenue lost due to Federal acquisition of real property within its tax base. The district serves a significant Native American student population and receives Impact Aid to offset the property tax exemption that reduces the LEA's primary revenue source for educating children living on or connected to Federal property.

The award obligates $438,742 and runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid payments under Section 7002 are available to districts where the Federal Government has acquired at least 10 percent of the assessed valuation of real property since 1938 and the district is not substantially compensated by revenue from activities on the eligible Federal property. Payments are computed on a statutory formula and prorated if appropriations are insufficient. The district must retain records supporting the payment amount for three years after the final payment for each fiscal year. Mail-in or on-site reviews by program staff verify application data and collect required information.
