Federal Grant Award Summary

McLoud Public Schools received a $136,922 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 in maintaining and enhancing comprehensive K-12 educational services in McLoud, Oklahoma, a community with significant federally connected student populations, including military-connected families and Native American students. The Impact Aid Program provides this financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) whose tax bases have been adversely affected by federal land acquisition and federal activities that reduce local revenue generation.

The funding enables McLoud Public Schools to deliver educational services across general instruction, special education, English language learning, career and technical education, teacher training, school nutrition, and technology integration. As a district serving federally connected children—those residing on federal property, including Indian lands, or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—the school district qualifies for this formula-based assistance designed to offset the revenue loss caused by reduced taxable property values. The award reflects the district's ongoing participation in federal funding programs to support equitable educational opportunities for its student population.
