Federal Grant Award Summary

Canton Public Schools received a $114,034 Project Grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the school district. Under Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program, Canton Public Schools qualifies for this assistance based on having at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who either reside on federal property, have a parent employed on federal property, or have a parent on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports Canton Public Schools' ability to maintain educational services and operations in Canton, Oklahoma by compensating for the reduced local tax base caused by the federal property exemption status of these students' residences or parents' workplaces. Impact Aid payments are computed according to statutory formula and distributed annually to eligible local educational agencies across the nation. This award demonstrates the federal government's commitment to ensuring that school districts serving federally connected populations maintain adequate resources for comprehensive educational programming.
