Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by September 10, 2026, and are evaluated on four equally weighted factors: potential to strengthen the food and agricultural workforce, quality and clarity of the proposal, effectiveness of program management including mentoring and retention strategies, and capacity for reporting and program evaluation. Awards are not based on cost or price, and cost sharing is neither required nor considered during review. Proposals must include a project narrative of no more than fifteen pages plus two additional pages for figures and tables, an institutional letter verifying alignment with the institution’s strategic plan, a data management plan addressing student confidentiality, and a table of expected outcomes integrated into the narrative. Funding is restricted to direct student support costs, with no indirect costs allowed and graduate student funding capped at 30% of the annual award.

The total estimated funding available ranges from $21.2 million to $67.2 million across multiple years, contingent on appropriations and program performance.

Performance sites are specified by applicants but administrative functions are directed to Kansas City, Missouri. Payment will be processed via the Automated Standard Application for Payments system, and continuation requires demonstrated institutional commitment and plans for long-term integration beyond federal funding.

South Monterey County School Districts Reorganization and UnificationThe proposed reorganization unifies Greenfield Union Elementary School District and Greenfield High School into a new Greenfield Unified School District, and combines King City Elementary School District, King City High School, Pinnacle Coastal Valley High School, and Portola-Butler Continuation High School into a new King City Unified School District. This change dissolves the existing South Monterey County Joint Union High School District, which currently oversees the high schools. The reorganization does not alter physical infrastructure or student enrollment and maintains all current educational programs and services. The move is intended to streamline administrative structure, enhance educational quality, ensure fiscal responsibility, and provide equitable access to resources by aligning district boundaries with community needs. The beneficiaries of this reorganization are students within the affected areas and local taxpayers, who are expected to benefit from more cohesive governance and potentially improved resource allocation. The initiative aligns with statewide goals for school district unification in California, which prioritize academic excellence, efficient use of funding, and responsiveness to demographic and community shifts. The California Department of Education is overseeing the process, with primary contacts including an Education Administrator and a Chief Business Official. No physical changes or enrollment impacts are anticipated, and the unified districts will continue operating within existing frameworks while enhancing administrative coordination and long-term planning capacity.
