Project Grant S041B263809

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Anadarko School District I-20 a Project Grant of $1.53M under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to the school district to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in Anadarko, Oklahoma, a community significantly impacted by federal activities and characterized by a predominantly Native American student population (78% Native American demographic) and high poverty rates.

The funding supports a broad range of educational services and initiatives, including core academic instruction, culturally-relevant programming aligned with Native American student needs, student support services, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As a Section 7003 Impact Aid recipient, the district meets eligibility criteria by enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who reside on federal or Indian lands and/or have parents working on federal property or serving on active duty. The six-year funding period enables the district to maintain educational continuity and enhance services in a rural, low-income community with limited local tax base revenue.
