Federal Grant Award Summary

Frontier Public School District I-4 in Red Rock, Oklahoma received a $374,825 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's provision of comprehensive K-12 educational services in a rural area significantly affected by federal land presence that reduces the local tax base. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance educational programming including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) where federal activities have adversely affected the district's tax base. Frontier Public School District I-4 qualifies under Section 7003 of Title VII, ESEA, as it serves federally connected children residing on federal property or having parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The district's eligibility reflects the program's statutory purpose to compensate school districts for revenue lost due to federal land acquisition and the presence of federal installations or Native American reservations within their boundaries.
