The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Locust Grove Public Schools $101,337 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003).
The award compensates the school district for reduced local tax revenue caused by the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—who generate educational service obligations while their families' property is exempt from local taxation. Locust Grove Public Schools serves Mayes County in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, where a significant share of enrolled students meets Impact Aid's definition of federally connected, qualifying the district for assistance under Section 7003's threshold of at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.
The award obligates $101,337 for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Performance occurs in Locust Grove, Oklahoma. As a local educational agency, Locust Grove Public Schools is the direct recipient and ultimate beneficiary of the award.
