Federal Grant Award Summary

Miami School District I-23 received a $118,728.00 Project Grant award under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041) from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award falls under Section 7003 of Title VII, which provides financial assistance to school districts affected by the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The Impact Aid program replaces lost local property tax revenue for eligible local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate these students, ensuring districts can maintain educational services despite the tax-exempt status of federal property within their jurisdictions.

As a public school district serving Miami, Oklahoma, Miami School District I-23 will utilize this federal funding to support comprehensive educational programming and services for federally connected students and the broader student population. The award aligns with the district's established pattern of federal grant receipt focused on providing specialized educational services, including support for Native American students and economically disadvantaged communities in rural Oklahoma. Payments under Impact Aid are computed using a statutory formula and distributed annually to eligible LEAs.
