Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $340,873 to Okmulgee Board of Education on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003, with performance through September 30, 2031.

The Impact Aid program provides financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on Federal property or having a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the district's tax base and local revenue capacity. Section 7003 assistance is available to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. Okmulgee Board of Education serves Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and has a documented history of serving American Indian and Alaska Native students. The award obligated $340,873 for the six-year performance period. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on the basis of statutory formula and are prorated if appropriations are insufficient; the recipient must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for a fiscal year.
