Project Grant S041B264280

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Whitesboro School District 62 a Project Grant of $167,694 under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This 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 the Impact Aid program, Whitesboro School District qualifies based on having at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance who either live on federal property, have a parent employed on federal property, or have a parent on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funds support the district's educational operations and services in Whitesboro, Oklahoma by compensating for the tax base erosion caused by federal property exemptions within the district's jurisdiction. These resources enable the school district to maintain comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, and other academic programs that would otherwise be constrained by reduced local tax revenues.
