Federal Grant Award Summary

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Bishop Unified School District $1,900,963 under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041) through a Project Grant effective October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2031. This award supports comprehensive K-12 educational services for a school district in Bishop, California, that serves a significant population of federally connected students, including American Indian and Alaska Native students. The Impact Aid Program provides financial assistance to local educational agencies adversely affected by federal activities that reduce local tax bases, such as federal land presence or military installations.

Under this award, Bishop Unified School District, with coordination support from its parent entity Inyo County Office of Education, will deliver a range of educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition programs, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. These services are designed to maintain and enhance educational opportunities for students in the district while supporting the achievement of its diverse student population, particularly those with federal connections living on or near federal property or having parents employed on federal installations.
