Federal Grant Award Summary

Ardmore City Schools (doing business as Ardmore Independent School District I-19) received a $114,166 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for the impact of federal activities on its tax base and student population. Section 7003 assistance specifically supports local educational agencies (LEAs) enrolling significant numbers of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or serving on active military duty—addressing the educational needs of these populations in federally impacted districts.

The funding supports Ardmore City Schools' provision of comprehensive educational services and programming to its student body, with particular emphasis on serving Native American and rural student populations affected by federal land presence and military-connected families in the district. As a public LEA in Ardmore, Oklahoma, the district utilizes Impact Aid resources in conjunction with other federal grants to deliver educational programming that addresses the academic, cultural, and support service needs of its federally impacted student enrollment.
