Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $334,227 to Belfonte School District 50 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds educational services for the district through September 30, 2031, serving students in Muldrow, Oklahoma. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts affected by federal activities—specifically, districts where the presence of federally connected children, including those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or in active military service, reduces the local tax base available for education. The Section 7003 formula targets districts where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance meet eligibility criteria. Belfonte School District 50, a local government entity serving a community with significant Native American and military families, uses Impact Aid funding to support general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.
