Federal Grant Award Summary

San Diego Unified School District received a $4.77M Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award provides financial assistance to support comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district, which serves approximately 95,678 students across a diverse demographic population. The Impact Aid Program designation reflects the district's status as a Local Educational Agency (LEA) adversely affected by federal activities that reduce the local tax base, including federal land presence within its jurisdiction.

The funding supports a range of educational initiatives and services designed to maintain and enhance instructional quality across the district's schools. Eligible uses of Impact Aid funds include general classroom instruction, special education services, English language learning programs, school nutrition initiatives, career and technical education development, teacher professional development and training, and educational technology integration. These services address the educational needs of federally connected students, including those residing on federal property or with parents employed on federal installations, and support the district's efforts to deliver equitable educational opportunities despite reduced local revenue capacity.
