Southside Elementary School District

Southside Elementary School District is a U.S. local government educational entity located in Hollister, California, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since April 2010. As a school district, its primary function is to provide public education services to students in its local community. The district is recognized as a small, rural school, which enables it to qualify for specific federal grant programs designed to support educational institutions in less populated areas. Its current SAM registration is valid through June 5, 2025, indicating its ongoing eligibility to receive federal funding and participate in government grant programs.

The district has consistently received federal grants through the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. These formula grants, awarded annually from 2020 to 2024, provide financial support to rural school districts to enhance educational resources and opportunities. Additionally, Southside Elementary School District has participated in sub-grant awards related to the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program, which aims to ensure equal educational access for homeless students. Through these sub-grants from the California Department of Education, the district supports initiatives that help homeless children receive appropriate public education, establish coordination mechanisms for supporting homeless youth, and develop state-level plans to address educational challenges faced by this vulnerable population. The recurring nature of these grants demonstrates the district's ongoing commitment to supporting rural and at-risk student populations through federal educational assistance programs.
