Federal Grant Award Summary

Jay Public Schools I-1 received a $162,701 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003). This award provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for the impact of federal activities on its tax base and student population. The Impact Aid Program Section 7003 specifically supports local educational agencies (LEAs) serving high proportions of federally connected children—those living on federal property, including Indian lands, or with parents employed on federal property or on active military duty. With at least three percent or 400 federally connected students in average daily attendance, Jay Public Schools I-1 qualifies for this assistance.

The funding supports Jay Public Schools I-1's comprehensive K-12 educational services and early childhood programs serving its predominantly Native American rural community in Jay, Oklahoma. Through this Impact Aid award, the school district maintains and enhances its ability to provide culturally responsive education, academic instruction, special education services, and support programs that address the unique needs of its federally connected student population. The six-year award period reflects the program's commitment to sustained financial support for eligible LEAs with significant federal impact on their enrollment and operations.
