Federal Grant Award Summary

The Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District received a $241,335 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's comprehensive K-12 educational services serving a significant population of federally connected children, particularly Native American students, whose presence reduces the local tax base. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, including the presence of Indian lands and federal property.

Under this award, the Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District will maintain and enhance a range of educational services and school operations, including general classroom instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a school district serving American Indian students in a federally impacted area of Choctaw, Oklahoma, the district utilizes these funds to sustain educational programs and operational capacity that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local revenue from federal land acquisition.
