Federal Grant Award Summary

The Chula Vista Elementary School District received a $690,889 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, Title VII, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This funding supports educational services for the school district, which serves federally-impacted student populations, including military-connected families and students in high-poverty schools. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce their local tax base, such as federal land presence or military installations. Section 7003 specifically targets districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on or have parents who work on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services.

The district utilizes Impact Aid funding to support comprehensive K-12 educational services, including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As part of its broader federal grant portfolio, Chula Vista Elementary School District has demonstrated capacity to manage substantial federal funding and effectively serve its diverse student population, including partnerships with subgrantees and community organizations to expand educational support and community resources.
