Project Grant S041B260981

The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) awarded Santee School District School Facilities Corporation $140,283 through the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003) on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This Project Grant provides financial assistance to support comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational services for federally connected students in the Santee, California school district, including those with parents employed on federal property or on active duty in the uniformed services. The funding supports general academic instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration.

The Impact Aid Program recognizes that school districts adversely affected by federal activities—particularly those serving military-connected and Native American student populations—face constrained local tax bases and require sustained federal support to maintain educational quality. Santee School District qualifies under Section 7003, which provides assistance to districts enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance. The district has established itself as a consistent federal grant recipient, with successive Impact Aid awards and complementary support through other Department of Education initiatives focused on student resilience and STEM career preparation for military-connected populations.
