Project Grant S041B260923

The San Diego Unified School District received a $5.85 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. This award supports the district's comprehensive K-12 educational services in response to the adverse fiscal impact of federal activities on the local tax base. The Impact Aid Program specifically assists school districts where federal land acquisitions or military installations have reduced assessed property values, and where federally connected children—including those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or in active military service—constitute a significant portion of student enrollment.

The funding enables San Diego Unified School District to maintain and enhance essential educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. As California's second-largest school district serving approximately 95,678 students with diverse demographics, the district leverages this federal assistance to support educational equity and infrastructure across its extensive K-12 system, particularly addressing the needs of its substantial population of federally connected students and military-connected families.
