Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Newkirk School District 125 $201,038 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award funds financial assistance to replace local education revenue lost when federally connected children—those living on or whose parents work on Federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services—attend public schools in districts whose tax bases are reduced by Federal real property acquisition. Newkirk School District 125 qualifies under Section 7003 criteria through enrollment of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance. The award runs through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Newkirk, Oklahoma. This is a project grant, one of six consecutive Impact Aid awards the district has received since January 2021, each structured as five-year grants. The district also receives sub-grant funding through the Oklahoma State Department of Education supporting child nutrition, special education under IDEA Part B, Title I academic achievement, Title II professional development, rural education assistance, Title IV academic enrichment, and pandemic relief.
