Project Grant S041B260758

Morongo Unified School District received a $628,787 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, 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). This funding supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for the school district located in Twentynine Palms, California, which serves over 8,600 students in a region adversely affected by federal activities, including the presence of military installations that reduce the local tax base and create federally connected student populations.

The grant funds support the delivery of general instruction, special education, English language learner services, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration across the district's educational portfolio. As a Section 7003 award, this grant specifically addresses the educational needs of school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance reside on federal property or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. This represents one of five Impact Aid Program grants awarded to Morongo Unified School District since February 2022, demonstrating sustained federal support for the district's efforts to maintain educational quality despite the fiscal challenges posed by federal land presence and military installations within its service area.
