Federal Grant Award Summary

Latta Public Schools received a $222,715 Project Grant award 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 supports the school district's efforts to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services in Ada, Oklahoma, where the local tax base has been adversely affected by federal activities. The Impact Aid Program specifically targets local educational agencies (LEAs) serving areas with significant federal land presence, military installations, or Native American reservations, and Latta Public Schools qualifies as an eligible LEA serving Native American and federally connected student populations.

The funding enables Latta Public Schools to deliver a range of educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning support, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services address the unique educational needs of the district's diverse student population while compensating for revenue losses resulting from reduced local property tax bases. The six-year performance period reflects the program's commitment to sustained educational support in federally impacted areas.
