Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Oceanside Unified School District $4.050502 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), a Project Grant providing financial assistance to school districts where the presence of federally connected children—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services—reduces the local tax base and limits revenue available for education.

Oceanside Unified School District serves a military-connected student population in Oceanside, California, in an area significantly affected by federal activities including the presence of Camp Pendleton. The district is eligible under Section 7003, which provides assistance 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 working on federal property or serving in the uniformed services.

Performance of work extends from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031, with place of performance in Oceanside, California. The award obligates $4.050502 million to support K-12 educational services addressing the unique needs of military-connected families and low-income populations served by the district.
