Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Justice School District D 54 $256,328 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant.

Justice School District D 54, a local government school district serving Wewoka, Oklahoma, receives this funding to replace local revenue lost due to the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—whose families' property is exempt from local property taxation. The Section 7003 component targets 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 award period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Wewoka, Oklahoma. The $256,328 obligated amount represents the district's annual allocation under the Impact Aid statutory formula, computed and prorated based on appropriations availability. The district must retain records supporting this payment for three years after the final fiscal-year payment and is subject to mail-in or on-site program reviews by Department of Education staff to verify application data.
