Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Byng School District $796,886 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award runs through September 30, 2031, and supports educational services in Ada, Oklahoma.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or whose parents work on Federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base available for education funding. Under Section 7003, districts with at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance qualify for assistance. Byng School District serves a student population with particular focus on Native American and rural learners. The district has a track record of federal grant support for academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, and teacher training. Payments under Impact Aid are computed annually on a statutory formula basis and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient.
