Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Navajo School District 1 in Altus, Oklahoma $105,240 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant.

Section 7003 of Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts that educate federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. Navajo School District 1 qualifies under the statutory formula for districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have parents working on Federal property. The funding replaces local revenue lost because Federal property is exempt from local property taxes, which otherwise serves as the primary source for school district financing.

The award has a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Place of performance is Altus, Oklahoma. Payments under Impact Aid are made annually to eligible LEAs and are computed on the basis of the statutory formula, with payments prorated if appropriations prove insufficient.
