Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $167,694 to Whitesboro School District 62 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041). The award period runs through September 30, 2031. Whitesboro School District 62, a local educational agency serving Whitesboro, Oklahoma, receives this assistance to offset the financial burden of educating federally connected children whose parents work on Federal property or serve on active duty in the uniformed services. The school district qualifies for assistance under Section 7003, which serves 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 or have a parent employed or on active duty on Federal property. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue that would otherwise be available to the district to pay for the education of these children, as the Federal property is exempt from local property taxes. Payments are made annually to eligible LEAs on the basis of the statutory formula.
