Santa Clara Elem SCH Dist

Santa Clara Elementary School District, a child entity of Ventura County, California, operates as a recipient of federal education grants focused on improving student academic achievement and teacher quality in small, rural school settings. The district is a U.S. local government entity (public school district) that does not hold federal contract prime awards or IDVs but receives formula grants directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Santa Clara Elementary's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. The district has received five annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education between 2022 and 2026, with awards dated July 1 each year and running through September 30 of the following year. The most recent award was issued on July 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. These formula grants fund strategies to increase student academic achievement through teacher and principal quality improvement and workforce development initiatives — the district's stated work centers on expanding the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom. The district also received one sub-grant award from Ventura County (dated August 31, 2026) that carries similar objectives.

Over the past five years, Santa Clara Elementary has received two federal grants (2026), one grant each in 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, for a total of seven awards in the source data spanning from 2007 onward. The combined dollars obligated across all twenty-one federal awards in the source is $395 thousand, indicating these are modest-scale formula grants typical of small rural school districts. The district's customer base is entirely the Department of Education (20 of 21 awards, 95% coverage), with one sub-award routed through Ventura County. Within the next twenty-four months, one award is scheduled for ultimate completion, representing the recompete cycle for the fiscal year 2025–2026 grant.

As a public school district recipient rather than a federal contractor, Santa Clara Elementary does not compete on contract vehicles, does not hold SBA certifications, and does not engage in procurement teaming. The district's federal role is limited to administering education formula grants designed to strengthen rural schools' instructional capacity in California's Ventura County.
