Federal Project Grant Summary

Silo Independent School District No. 1 received a Project Grant award of $176,959.00 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. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) adversely affected by federal activities, particularly those with reduced tax bases due to federal land acquisition or significant populations of federally connected children. This award supports Silo Independent School District's comprehensive K-12 educational services in Durant, Oklahoma, serving a predominantly Native American student population.

The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance educational services across multiple areas including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a district with substantial federal land presence and federally connected student enrollment, Silo Independent School District qualifies for Impact Aid support under Section 7002 or 7003 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). The six-year project period reflects the program's commitment to sustained educational equity for Native American and federally connected students in areas where federal activities have diminished local revenue capacity.
