San Lucas Union Elementary School District

San Lucas Union Elementary School District, doing business as San Lucas Elementary School, is a California local government school district that receives federal formula grants for K-12 educational programs as a direct recipient from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and also receives sub-award funding passed through the California Department of Education for child nutrition, academic achievement, and English language acquisition programs.

San Lucas Elementary is structured as a U.S. government entity (local public school district) and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not as a federal contractor. The district has no prime federal contract awards and does not bid on procurement vehicles. Its federal footprint consists of direct prime grant awards from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and pass-through sub-award funding from California's Department of Education, which functions as the state intermediary for multiple Department of Education and Department of Agriculture nutrition and academic programs.

The district's prime award portfolio centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education — the district has received five consecutive annual formula grants under this program, with awards on July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, running through September 30 of the following fiscal year. The most recent prime award commenced July 1, 2026, and runs through September 30, 2027.

Sub-award funding from California's Department of Education (the state pass-through) covers child nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program), Title I grants for high-poverty school improvement, English Language Learner support, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and COVID-19 pandemic response funding. The district received sub-awards as recently as September 30, 2026 (child nutrition and academic achievement programs) and March 20, 2026 (community learning centers). One prime or sub-award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.

Across 23 total awards (prime and sub combined), the district has obligated approximately $797 thousand in federal funding. The top three customer agencies account for 96% of awards: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (18 awards), the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (3 awards passed through California), and the Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (1 award). Award activity has accelerated — one award in 2023 to eight awards in 2026 — reflecting the recent concentration of sub-award funding flows through the state.
