Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $559,365 to Maryetta School District 22 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2031. This Section 7003 award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue for the school district located in Stilwell, Oklahoma, which serves a student population that is 82% American Indian and qualifies under Impact Aid eligibility criteria due to the presence of federally connected children. The funding compensates for the tax-exempt status of federal property within the district's jurisdiction and supports the district's ability to maintain educational services for students residing on or connected to federal lands and properties.

The award directly supports Maryetta Public School's educational operations, enabling the district to continue comprehensive K-8th grade educational services for approximately 551 students, including academic instruction, special education, English language learning, student support services, and teacher professional development. With 78% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch programs, the Impact Aid funding is critical to sustaining educational programs and infrastructure for this economically disadvantaged and rural school community in northeastern Oklahoma.
