Federal Grant Award Summary

The Lompoc Unified School District received a $317,445 Project Grant 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 award supports educational services for the district's federally connected student populations, including children residing on federal property and those with parents employed on federal installations or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding enables the district to maintain and enhance comprehensive K-12 educational services that would otherwise be constrained by the reduced local tax base resulting from federal land presence in the Lompoc area.

The grant supports a range of educational initiatives aligned with Impact Aid Program objectives, including general instruction, special education, English language learning programs, school nutrition services, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration. As a local educational agency serving military-impacted student populations, Lompoc Unified School District utilizes this federal assistance to sustain critical educational services and academic programs that would otherwise face funding constraints due to the loss of local tax revenue from federally acquired properties.
