Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Lompoc Unified School District $523,864 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7002) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This Project Grant provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district adversely affected by federal land acquisition that reduces the local tax base. The funding enables Lompoc Unified School District to maintain and enhance educational programs including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration initiatives serving its federally-connected student population in Lompoc, California.

As a local educational agency qualifying under Section 7002 criteria, the district utilizes Impact Aid funding to offset revenue losses resulting from federal property acquisitions within its jurisdiction. This award represents continued federal support for the district's educational operations and aligns with the Impact Aid Program's mission to ensure that school districts significantly impacted by federal activities maintain educational quality despite reduced local tax revenues.
