Federal Project Grant Award Summary

On October 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded $327,508.00 to Hulbert School District I 16 under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). This Project Grant award, extending through September 30, 2031, provides financial assistance to compensate the school district for lost local property tax revenue attributable to the presence of federally connected children in the district. Under Section 7003 eligibility criteria, Hulbert School District qualifies because at least three percent or 400 of its students in average daily attendance either reside on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services.

The funding supports the district's operational capacity to educate federally connected students by replacing revenue that would typically be generated through local property taxation. As a rural school district in Oklahoma serving K-12 educational needs, Hulbert School District will deploy these Impact Aid funds to maintain and enhance educational infrastructure and programming for its student population. The award represents one of approximately 1,000 to 2,200 annual Impact Aid grants distributed nationwide by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, demonstrating the program's role in supporting school districts affected by federal activities across the country.
