Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Kingston Public School District 3 received a $413,662 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services in Kingston, Oklahoma, a school district significantly impacted by federal land acquisition that has reduced the local tax base. The funding addresses the educational needs of the district's substantial Native American student population through general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, particularly districts where the federal government has acquired 10 percent or more of assessed real property valuation since 1938, or where federally connected children comprise at least 3 percent of average daily attendance. Kingston Public School District 3's award reflects its documented need for federal support to maintain educational quality in a jurisdiction with reduced local revenue capacity due to federal property holdings.
