Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $162,701 to Jay Public Schools I-1 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds educational services in Jay, Oklahoma, with a period of performance through September 30, 2031. Jay Public Schools I-1 serves a predominantly Native American rural community and uses Impact Aid funds to replace local tax revenue lost when federally connected children—those living on Federal property or with parents working on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—enroll in the district. Section 7003 assistance supports school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or are connected to Federal property. The district has a strong history of federal grant funding, including prior awards for Indian Education Formula Grants, Head Start, special education, nutritional programs, and teacher professional development targeting the academic and cultural needs of its Native American student population.
