Eureka School District 44-1, doing business as Eureka Elementary School - 02, is a U.S. local government school district operating in Eureka, South Dakota that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient (35% of recent awards) and sub-recipient (65% of recent awards) from the Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, and Department of Justice. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem.

Eureka School District's federal grant footprint centers on elementary and secondary education programming. As a prime recipient, the district has received five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards running annually from July through September over a four-year cycle (2022–2027). The district also received a $363,338 project grant from the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710), awarded October 1, 2024, with ultimate completion September 30, 2027, to implement evidence-based programs for school safety and security on campus grounds.

As a sub-recipient, Eureka School District draws the majority of its federal funding through passthrough awards from state education agencies. The South Dakota Department of Education serves as prime grantee on 18 sub-awards flowing to the district, covering Title I Basic, Title IIA REAP, Title IV, IDEA Part B Flowthrough, National School Lunch Program block grants, and ESSER III emergency relief funding. The Montana Office of Public Instruction serves as prime grantee on 19 sub-awards, including Title I Part A Basic, IDEA Part B, Title II professional development, ESSER I, ESSER II, ESSER III, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and School Nutrition Program (CFDA 10.555) awards. These sub-awards span school-year cycles aligned to federal fiscal periods, with ultimate completion dates ranging from 2023 through 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all fifty-seven awards (prime and sub) total $8.7 million over the award history in the source data. Award volume has grown unevenly — four awards in 2022, twelve in 2023, nine in 2024, and eleven in 2025 — with only one award (combined potential value not specified in source) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.
