Banta Unified School District

Banta Unified School District, operating as Banta Charter, is a U.S. local government entity and school district registered to receive federal awards. The district primarily provides educational services and programs aimed at improving teaching and learning outcomes, particularly in high-poverty schools. Banta Charter has been registered in SAM.gov since March 30, 2022, with its current registration set to expire on October 4, 2024. As a recipient of federal grant awards, the district focuses on implementing educational initiatives that align with federal objectives for enhancing academic achievement in rural and high-need areas.

Banta Charter has received prime federal grant awards through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, a civilian agency. These formula grants, awarded in July 2022 and July 2023, are designed to support small, rural schools in improving educational outcomes. Additionally, Banta Charter has been a sub-grantee in a program aimed at helping local educational agencies improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools, with a particular focus on children failing or at risk of failing to meet challenging state academic achievement standards. This sub-award was granted through the California Department of Education, demonstrating Banta Charter's involvement in both direct federal grants and state-administered federal education programs.
