Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) received a $2.14 million Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities, particularly school districts with significant military installations that reduce the local tax base. CUSD qualifies under Section 7003, serving approximately 3,101 students with 41% military-dependent enrollment at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, California.

Under this award, CUSD will maintain and enhance comprehensive kindergarten through 12th grade educational services designed to address the unique needs of its military-connected student population. Funded services encompass general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training and professional development, and technology integration initiatives. The six-year performance period reflects the sustained nature of Impact Aid support, enabling the district to support its federally connected student enrollment and offset revenue reductions resulting from federal property acquisition and military presence in the district.
