Federal Grant Award Summary

Chelsea Public Schools received $141,982.00 in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), Section 7003, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This Project Grant award supports the school district's provision of comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services to federally connected students, including those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding enables Chelsea Public Schools to maintain educational quality and infrastructure in a district adversely affected by the reduced local tax base resulting from federal activities in the Chelsea, Oklahoma area.

The award provides financial assistance to support general academic instruction, special education services, English language learning programs, school nutrition initiatives, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. Given the district's focus on serving American Indian and Alaska Native students, the Impact Aid funding helps address the unique cultural, linguistic, and academic requirements of this student population while maintaining sustained federal support necessary for the district to deliver equitable educational services and meet challenging state academic standards.
