Project Grant S041B263886

Clinton Independent School District received a $187,872 Project Grant 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, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services in Clinton, Oklahoma, a school district adversely affected by federal land presence that reduces local tax revenue. The funding is designated to help the district maintain and enhance educational programs serving its student population, including a significant proportion of Native American students and other federally connected children who reside on or have parents working on federal property.

The Impact Aid Program award enables Clinton Public Schools to sustain and strengthen core educational services, including general instruction, special education support, English language acquisition, school nutrition programs, and teacher training initiatives. As a school district meeting the Section 7003 eligibility criteria—with at least three percent of its average daily attendance comprising federally connected children living on or near federal/Indian lands—the district qualifies for ongoing formula-based assistance to offset the fiscal impact of reduced local property tax revenue attributable to federal land holdings within its jurisdiction.
