Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) awarded Wheatland School District $1,777,495 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This Project Grant provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the district's jurisdiction. Section 7003 eligibility is based on the enrollment of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who either reside on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports Wheatland School District's comprehensive K-12 educational operations, including general instruction, special education, English language learning programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a school district serving a federally impacted student population in Wheatland, California, the district utilizes Impact Aid resources to maintain educational infrastructure and program quality that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenue due to federally exempt property within its service area. Annual payments are computed based on statutory formula calculations and may be prorated if federal appropriations are insufficient.
