Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Grand View Elementary School District $198,667 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) on October 1, 2025. The award runs through September 30, 2031 and serves the district in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base and creates a financial burden on the school district. Grand View Elementary School District qualifies under Section 7003 of the program, which covers districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance. The district serves a student population with a notable emphasis on Native American students and has received consistent federal educational funding to support K–12 instruction and specialized programs including Indian Education Formula Grants, special education services, English language learning, and teacher training.

Payments under Impact Aid are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
