Federal Grant Award Summary

O'Fallon Township High School District #203 received a $140,777 Project Grant 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 provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the district's enrollment. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid Program, the district qualifies for support because it educates at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who either live on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports the district's educational operations and services for its student population, with particular emphasis on military-connected students. Impact Aid payments are calculated using a statutory formula and are intended to offset the financial burden on the school district created by the tax-exempt status of federal property, thereby enabling the district to maintain educational quality and services comparable to non-affected districts.
