Franklin Elementary School District

Franklin Elementary School District, a U.S. public school district based in Yuba City, California, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient from the California Department of Education for nutrition, English language acquisition, and teacher quality initiatives. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient, not a contractor or subcontractor to prime vendors.

The district's federal funding footprint is narrow and concentrated. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 21 of 25 awards (covering 96% of total awards) through recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants awarded annually since at least 2022. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides three awards for school lunch and breakfast service operations, and the Office of English Language Acquisition carries one award. The district acts as prime recipient on five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (fiscal years 2022 through 2026, each running from July to September of the following year) and receives sub-grants from the California Department of Education for National School Lunch Program funding, School Breakfast Program funding, English learner services, Title I high-poverty school improvement, and general school improvement support.

Recent activity shows volatile annual volume: one award in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and seven awards in 2026 (likely reflecting timing of sub-grant awards from the state pass-through). Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-six awards total $916 thousand, indicating small individual award magnitudes typical of rural-district entitlements and formula allocations. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, so recompete exposure is minimal in this window. The district's federal footprint reflects entitlement-based education funding tied to rural-school demographics rather than competitive procurement — Franklin Elementary operates as an end-use recipient of K–12 education formula grants and nutrition assistance, not as a vendor managing subcontractors or bidding on federal services.
