Mesa Union School

Mesa Union School, a California local school district, receives federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime grant recipient and participates in federal child nutrition programs as a sub-recipient under the California Department of Education.

Mesa Union School is a U.S. government entity — a public K–12 school district headquartered in Somis, California (Ventura County). The district does not hold federal contracts or seats on contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding routed through two primary channels: direct formula grants from the Department of Education and sub-awards from California's state education agency for child nutrition programs.

The district's prime grant activity centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Mesa Union has received annual SRSAP awards on a consistent July 1 schedule: awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with the most recent award covering the period through September 30, 2027. These awards support rural school improvement and instructional capacity building at the district level.

Sub-recipient activity flows through the California Department of Education and covers child nutrition and academic achievement programs. The district received multiple sub-awards dated September 2026 for the National School Lunch Program (three awards) and National School Breakfast Program (one award), all channeled through California's education agency to provide cash grants and food donations supporting nonprofit meal service. The district also received sub-awards supporting teacher quality improvement and student academic achievement initiatives, with the most recent dated August 31, 2026.

Customer concentration is split between two federal agencies: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (12 awards) and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (7 awards), accounting for 95% of the district's 20 federal awards across the source snapshot. Combined federal dollars obligated total $656 thousand. Award activity has accelerated sharply in 2026 — nine awards year to date — compared to one award per year in 2022–2024. Only one award (the SRSAP grant covering through September 30, 2027) carries a completion date inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.
