Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $154,908 in Impact Aid Program funding (CFDA 84.041) to Shawnee Independent School District NO. 93 (operating as Shawnee Public Schools) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This Project Grant award provides financial assistance to replace lost local property tax revenue resulting from the presence of federally connected children in the district's attendance area under Section 7003 of Title VII of the Impact Aid statute.

The funding supports the district's educational operations by compensating for tax base erosion caused by federal property exemptions and the enrollment of eligible students whose parents work on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. Located in Shawnee, Oklahoma, the school district will utilize these obligated funds to maintain comprehensive educational services, including academic instruction, teacher professional development, student support services, and initiatives targeting outcomes for Native American and underserved student populations. Annual payments under the Impact Aid formula will be distributed through the award's six-year period, subject to prorated adjustments if federal appropriations prove insufficient.
