Chicago Park Elementary School District

Chicago Park Elementary School District, doing business as Chicago Park School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Grass Valley, California, that receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358). The district does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a prime contractor or subcontractor on procurement vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of direct grant awards and subordinate grant sub-awards.

Chicago Park School's federal activity is narrow and recurring. Over the past five years, the district has received one formula grant award per year in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, with two awards in 2026 (the most recent in August 2026). All nineteen prime awards in the source data are Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, running on a consistent July-to-September award and completion cycle. The district has also received one grant sub-award (dated August 31, 2026) supporting teacher and principal quality improvement and classroom staffing. Combined federal dollars obligated across all awards total $499 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of direct federal grants to small rural school districts. The district serves only one federal agency; 95% of awards are prime grants, with a single sub-award representing 5% of the footprint.

One award has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The district's federal grant relationship is characterized by formula-grant stability — annual or biennial awards under a single federal program — rather than competitive solicitation or task-order dynamics. As a government entity, Chicago Park School does not compete for federal contracts under set-aside categories or GSA vehicles, and does not operate through IDIQs, GWACs, or blanket purchase agreements. Federal funding flows directly to the district as a recipient institution, supporting K–12 education delivery and workforce development in a rural California community.
