Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded San Diego Unified School District $7.561 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003). The award funds educational services for federally connected children in the district's K–12 system through September 30, 2031. Section 7003 assistance supports school districts where at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on Federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on Federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. San Diego Unified School District, the second-largest school district in California, serves approximately 95,678 students across a diverse demographic base. Performance occurs in San Diego, California 92103. The assistance type is a Project Grant. Impact Aid replaces lost local revenue in districts where federally owned property is exempt from local property taxes, reducing the tax base available to finance education.
