About the company
Connecting Waters Charter Schools is a tax-exempt non-profit organization that functions as a sub-recipient of federal education grants, receiving funding through the Department of Education California for career and technical education programs, English language acquisition, and elementary and secondary education initiatives. The organization operates exclusively in a sub-recipient posture—it does not hold prime contracts or prime grants, and all seven of its recent awards (combined obligated value of $208 thousand) flow through California Department of Education as the intermediate prime grantee.
Connecting Waters' grant portfolio centers on three recurring federal education programs. The Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education accounts for three of the seven awards (most recently a sub-award dated September 30, 2026) and focuses on developing academic, career, and technical skills for secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in CTE programs. The organization also receives sub-awards from the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (one award, June 30, 2026) to support English proficiency and academic achievement for limited English proficient students, and from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (one award, June 30, 2026) to improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools serving at-risk students. A fifth sub-award from the Department of Education (August 31, 2026) targets teacher and principal quality improvement to increase the number of highly qualified educators in classrooms.
Activity has accelerated in the most recent fiscal period—two awards in 2024, one in 2025, and four in 2026—though the absolute dollar volume remains modest at $208 thousand across the full portfolio. All seven awards operate under the Department of Education California as the prime grantor, with no evidence of direct federal relationships or involvement with other federal agencies. The organization's role is limited to implementing sub-awarded grant work rather than competing for or administering its own federal instruments; this positioning indicates Connecting Waters functions as a pass-through implementing entity within California's education grant infrastructure rather than as a federal vendor or prime contractor.
