Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $307,822 to Pawnee Public Schools on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

Pawnee Public Schools, operating as Pawnee Independent School District I001 in Pawnee, Oklahoma, received the award to help offset the financial burden placed on the district by the presence of children living on or connected to Federal property. Section 7003 of the Impact Aid program provides assistance 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, and/or have a parent who works on Federal property or is on active duty in the uniformed services. The district is exempt from local property taxes on Federal property, reducing the primary revenue source available to most communities for education funding; Impact Aid replaces this lost local revenue.

The award obligates $307,822 for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Pawnee, Oklahoma. The assistance type is a Project Grant. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
