Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Morris School District 3 in Morris, Oklahoma $142,818 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003).

The award funds financial assistance to replace local revenue lost when federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having parents who work on Federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services—reduce the school district's tax base. Impact Aid compensates local educational agencies for the revenue shortfall created when Federal property exempt from local taxation places a financial burden on districts educating these children. Morris School District 3 serves a significant population of American Indian and Alaska Native students and qualifies for assistance where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or are connected to Federal property.

The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
