Mccloud Union Elementary School District

Mccloud Union Elementary School District, a rural California public school district, receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and operates as a sub-recipient on education and nutrition grants flowing through the California Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts; all federal engagement is through grant awards supporting K–12 instruction, student achievement, and child nutrition services.

Mccloud Union Elementary is a U.S. local government entity (public school district) headquartered in McCloud, California. Its federal footprint centers on elementary and secondary education funding. The district receives direct formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSAP) administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — annual awards on July 1 for the fiscal year running through September 30, with five consecutive SRSAP awards spanning 2022 through 2026 (most recent award July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027). As a sub-recipient, the district draws funding through the California Department of Education for child nutrition programs (School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program), Title I academic improvement grants targeting high-poverty schools and at-risk students, teacher quality initiatives, and COVID-19 pandemic relief. Sub-award activity peaked in 2022 with three coronavirus relief grants, then resumed in 2024–2026 across nutrition and instructional-improvement channels. The district accounts for 66% of its awards as a prime recipient (19 awards) and 34% as a sub-recipient (10 awards).

Customer concentration is narrow: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education holds 97% of recent award volume (25 awards, all SRSAP and sub-awards funneled through California DOE), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounting for the remaining 3% (three awards, likely child nutrition sub-awards). Combined dollars obligated across all awards stand at $2.2 million over the source coverage window. Activity has increased modestly in 2026 (six awards), though the total award count of 29 across the full data window from 2007 forward reflects the stable, recurring nature of K–12 formula grants. Only one award reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete risk near-term and the predictable, annually renewable cadence of SRSAP funding.
