Lemoore Union High School District

Lemoore Union High School District, operating as Kings County Schools, is a California public school district that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient, with no federal contracting footprint. The district qualifies as a U.S. local government entity and holds prime federal grant awards across three core Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) programs: Impact Aid (Title VII, Section 7003), Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. The district also receives sub-grants from the California Department of Education in child nutrition (breakfast and lunch programs), career and technical education, teacher quality improvement, English language acquisition, and title I support for high-poverty schools.

The district's federal funding concentration is heavily skewed toward OESE, which accounts for 60 of 82 total awards (96% coverage across its top customer agencies). Recent prime grants include a $447.880 million Impact Aid project grant (CFDA 84.041) awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031, to offset the financial burden of federally connected children whose presence reduces the district's tax base; recurring Indian Education Formula Grants (awarded July 1 annually); and recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (awarded July 1 annually). All prime grants are formula or project grants; the Impact Aid award is the largest single instrument in the portfolio. The district receives a steady stream of sub-grants from California Department of Education, routed through state administration, covering child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding), Career and Technical Education grants, Title II teacher and principal quality grants, and Title I supplemental services for academically at-risk students in high-poverty schools.

Activity has accelerated in recent years — three awards in 2022 rising to seventeen in 2026 — though this reflects the award cadence of recurring formula grants and sub-allocations from California rather than new competitive pursuits. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in that window. Sub-award activity (28 of 82 awards, 34% of the portfolio) flows exclusively through California Department of Education, which functions as the prime grantor administering federal child nutrition, academic improvement, and workforce development programs to local educational agencies. The district's place of performance is Lemoore, California.
