Pacific Elementary School District

Pacific Elementary School District (doing business as Pacific Elementary School), a public school district located in Davenport, California, is a U.S. government entity and recipient of federal formula grants and project grants in the K–12 education space, with a 78% prime-recipient footprint and 22% sub-recipient participation. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient under the Department of Education and related agencies.

Pacific Elementary School's federal funding derives almost entirely from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 21 of the district's 27 total awards (covering 96% of all recent activity). The district has received five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA 84.358), with awards dated July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, running through completion dates of September 30 in the subsequent fiscal year. In 2022, the district also received a one-time project grant under the School Emergency Response to Violence (PROJECT SERV) program, completing June 30, 2023. Beyond OESE, the district participates as a sub-recipient in programs administered through the California Department of Education: the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (child nutrition assistance), and the Child Care and Development Block Grant (early childhood care access for low-income families). The district received four sub-awards from California DOE for child nutrition support dated September 30, 2026, one sub-award supporting teacher quality improvement dated August 31, 2026, and one sub-award under the Child Care and Development Block Grant dated March 29, 2023.

Combined federal dollars obligated across all 27 awards total $534 thousand, reflecting the small-district profile and formula-grant structure characteristic of rural elementary schools. Activity has been episodic: two awards per year in 2022 and 2023, declining to one award in each of 2024 and 2025, then rising to six awards in 2026. Only one award (the Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant with ultimate completion September 30, 2027) extends beyond the next twenty-four months, positioning the district to face annual recompetes of its core SRSA formula funding and sub-award participation through FY 2027.
