School Board Of The City Of Virginia Beach

The School Board of the City of Virginia Beach is a U.S. local government entity and school district serving the Virginia Beach area, registered in SAM.gov since April 2002. The organization receives federal grant funding to support comprehensive K-12 educational services and programs designed to serve its diverse student population, with particular emphasis on military-connected families who represent a significant portion of its enrollment. As a school district with federal land and military installations within its jurisdiction, Virginia Beach receives Impact Aid Program funding to offset the reduced local tax base resulting from these federal properties. The School Board functions as both a prime grant recipient and a subgrantee, leveraging federal resources to enhance educational quality across multiple program areas including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher professional development, and technology integration.

The School Board of the City of Virginia Beach has demonstrated sustained federal grant activity across multiple funding agencies and program areas. As a prime grantee, the district has received four Impact Aid Program grants (Title VII, Section 7003) from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Secondary Education, with awards dating from October 2021 through October 2025, supporting educational operations through September 2031. The district also serves as a prime recipient of competitive grants under the Department of Defense Education Activity's Promoting K-12 Student Achievement at Military-Connected Schools program, receiving two World Language Advancement and Readiness Program (WLARP) grants totaling $4,000,000 to expand Spanish immersion and dual language programming, as well as one Spanish Immersion Expansion Project grant of $1,061,000 to improve world language competency. Additionally, the district received a $389,025 Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office for school safety programs and violence prevention initiatives. As a subgrantee through the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education, Virginia Beach receives funding for Title I basic programs, Title II teacher quality improvements, Title III language acquisition, special education (IDEA Parts B and 619), vocational education, school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Summer Food Service Program, and Child and Adult Care Food Program), student support and enrichment grants, and pandemic relief funding through the CARES Act ESSERF program, demonstrating comprehensive federal support for educational excellence and student welfare.
