Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wilburton School District I-1 in Wilburton, Oklahoma $150,481 on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7003. The award runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts where 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—reduces the district's local tax base and revenue capacity. Section 7003 eligibility requires at least three percent or 400 of total eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance to reside or have employment connections to Federal property. Payments under Impact Aid are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible LEAs. The district must retain records supporting its payment amount for three years after the last payment for each fiscal year, and the program office conducts mail-in or on-site reviews to verify application data.
