Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Atoka Public Schools $141,743 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award runs through September 30, 2031.

Atoka Public Schools, a local educational agency in Atoka, Oklahoma, receives Impact Aid to offset the financial burden of educating federally connected children whose families live on or work at Federal property, thereby reducing the district's local tax base. Section 7003 assistance flows to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property including Indian lands and/or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Payments are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The recipient must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and the program office conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data.
