Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Salina School District 16 in Salina, Oklahoma $266,204 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041).

The award funds financial assistance to the school district to replace lost local revenue resulting from 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—whose presence reduces the district's tax base. 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 or are connected to Federal property.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. Payments are computed on the basis of the statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs; payments are prorated if appropriations are insufficient. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year.
