Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $491,198 to Cache School District 1 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award funds educational services for Cache Public School in Cache, Oklahoma, through September 30, 2031.

Section 7003 Impact Aid assists school districts where at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. Cache School District 1, which serves approximately 2,000 students with 41 percent military-connected youth near Fort Sill Army Post and Altus Air Force Base, receives this funding to replace local revenue lost due to the tax-exempt status of Federal property within the district's boundaries. The district uses Impact Aid awards to support comprehensive K–12 educational services and address the academic, social, and emotional needs of its military-connected student population.
