Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Wyandotte Public Schools, located in Wyandotte, Oklahoma, $629,640 under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025. The award runs through September 30, 2031 and provides financial assistance to replace lost local tax revenue caused by 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 families' property is exempt from local property taxation. Under Section 7003, the school district qualifies where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on Federal property or meet active-duty parent criteria. Payments are computed annually on the basis of the statutory formula and prorated if appropriations prove insufficient. The recipient 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 and collect additional required information.
