Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $186,612 to Silo Independent School District No I 1 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041). The award supports educational services for federally connected children in the district's jurisdiction through September 30, 2031.

Silo Independent School District No I 1, located in Durant, Oklahoma, serves a predominantly Native American student population. The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on or whose parents work on Federal property or who are on active duty in the uniformed services—places a financial burden on local educational agencies that would otherwise rely on local property tax revenue.

Payments under Impact Aid are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year. The Department of Education conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data and collect required information, and an administrative law hearing is available for any LEA adversely affected by any action of the Secretary.
