Impact aid program, title VII, section 7002

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded San Diego Unified School District $6.475 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041), Title VII, Section 7002, for a project period extending through September 30, 2031.

San Diego Unified School District, doing business as San Diego City Schools, serves approximately 95,678 students in San Diego, California. The district qualifies for Impact Aid assistance because federal acquisition of real property within its boundaries has reduced the district's tax base and revenue available to support education. The award replaces lost local revenue resulting from property exemptions tied to federal land holdings.

Work is performed in San Diego, CA 92103. The Impact Aid program provides annual payments computed using a statutory formula to local educational agencies affected by federal activities, including the presence of federally connected children living on federal property and students with parents employed on federal property or in active military service. Payments are prorated if federal appropriations prove insufficient to meet all eligible claims.
