Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $439,686 to Calera Public School on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003). The award funds financial assistance to the school district to offset the educational burden created 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' Federal connection exempts their property from local taxation. Calera Public School, located in Calera, Oklahoma, serves as a non-profit K-12 educational institution with particular focus on Native American students. The award period runs through September 30, 2031. Impact Aid Section 7003 provides assistance to districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total average daily attendance consists of eligible federally connected children. Payments are computed on a statutory formula basis and made annually to eligible local educational agencies.
