West Valley School District

West Valley School District, a local government school district headquartered in Yakima, Washington, receives federal education and nutrition funding as a grant recipient through the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, operating predominantly as a sub-recipient (94% of recent awards) under state-administered formula and discretionary grant programs rather than as a prime grantee or contractor.

West Valley School District is a public school district and U.S. government entity with no federal contracting vehicle and no prime contract awardee history. The district holds three prime federal grant awards, all Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, each carrying a twelve-month performance period through June 30 of the following year. The bulk of the district's federal footprint — 44 of 47 awards — flows through sub-awards passed down by the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the state education agency holding primary authority over ESEA, IDEA, Title III, child nutrition, and other federal education entitlements to local education agencies.

Customer concentration sits with two Department of Education offices and one Department of Agriculture agency. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 22 awards, predominantly reimbursement and administrative support for child nutrition programs with awards clustered in September and October of each fiscal year, consistent with the federal school meal program calendar. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 16 awards covering Title I, Part A; Title I, Part C (Migrant); Title IIA (Supporting Effective Instruction); Title III (English Language Acquisition); Student Support and Academic Enrichment; and ESSER Mastery-based Learning initiatives. The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 6 awards under IDEA Part B (Sections 611 and 619). The Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition accounts for 2 awards. These four agencies combined cover 98% of recent awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 47 awards total $16.4 million, reflecting the relatively modest scale of a single K-12 district's federal compliance and program administration footprint.

Activity peaked in 2024 with 20 awards, declining to 10 in 2025 and 4 in 2026 year to date; this decline reflects the source's capture window rather than declining grant receipt, as formula grants renew annually and the recent awards listed include only awards through July 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure. West Valley School District does not operate as a federal contractor, subcontractor, or prime grant recipient managing sub-agreements with other entities; it is a direct sub-recipient of formula and discretionary education grants administered through the Washington State education agency.
