Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant Award Summary

Cave Springs School District in Bunch, Oklahoma received a $648,294 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services for a federally impacted school district serving a notably high proportion of Native American students and federally connected children. The funding supports general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration initiatives.

The Impact Aid Program compensates local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases. Section 7003 eligibility is based on the enrollment of federally connected children—defined as those residing on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Cave Springs School District's consistent receipt of Impact Aid and related federal education grants, including Indian Education Formula Grants and the Small Rural School Achievement Program, reflects its ongoing federal impact status and demonstrated commitment to maintaining educational quality and infrastructure in a rural school setting with constrained local revenue capacity.
