Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Preston School District 5 $162,178 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 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. The program replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to local educational agencies to pay for the education of these children, whose families' Federal employment or military service status removes their property from the local tax base.

Preston School District 5, a local government educational entity located in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, serves students in Preston, Oklahoma (74456). The award covers the period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. The district has a history of receiving federal education grants and demonstrates capacity to meet program requirements, having received multiple awards across Impact Aid and other Department of Education initiatives supporting special education, teacher training, technology integration, and academic achievement.
