IMPERIAL, Calif. (KYMA) - Local Imperial County schools are eligible to receive funding for the Imperial Irrigation District's (IID) Grants for Energy Modernization in Schools (GEMS) program.

Over $1 million was awarded in 2025 to 20 local schools to support energy-efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning upgrades.

"Programs like GEMS allow IID to reinvest in our schools while promoting energy efficiency and long-term savings," said IID Board Chairwoman Karin Eugenio. "These improvements make a meaningful difference for students, teachers, and school districts."

Applications open on Monday, February 2, 2026 with the deadline on Friday, February 20, 2026.
