Federal Grant Award Summary

Bonsall Unified School District received a $571,934 Project Grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Impact Aid program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2031. The award compensates the school district for the fiscal impact of federally connected students—those living on federal property or with parents employed on federal property or on active military duty—whose enrollment reduces the district's local tax base. This funding supports comprehensive educational services and general instruction for the district's K-12 student population in Bonsall, California, addressing the educational needs of a community significantly affected by federal activities.

The Impact Aid program distributes funds to eligible Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) where at least three percent or 400 federally connected children are enrolled in average daily attendance. Under Section 7003, the award enables Bonsall Unified School District to maintain educational quality and programming despite the reduced local tax revenue resulting from federal property presence. The six-year award period allows for sustained support of teaching quality, instructional programs, and student achievement initiatives across the district's schools.
