Yreka Union School District

Yreka Union School District, doing business as Jackson Street Elementary School, is a California-based public school district that operates as a federal grant recipient, receiving direct formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and serving as a sub-recipient on a broader portfolio of federal education and nutrition assistance grants flowing through the California Department of Education.

The entity is organized as a U.S. government entity structured as a local government school district. It holds no federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles; its federal engagement is limited to education and nutrition grant awards. The school district receives direct formula grants under the Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs program, with prime awards spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2027 (awarded July 1 annually with June 30 completion dates). In its role as sub-recipient, Yreka Union School District participates in a substantially larger set of federal education and nutrition programs flowing from the California Department of Education, including child nutrition (breakfast and lunch service delivery), special education and related services, teacher quality improvement, English language acquisition support, and Title I academic achievement support for high-poverty schools.

The funding concentration heavily favors education grants. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors 27 awards (54% of all activity); the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 14 awards (28%); and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, other Department of Education offices, and the Department of Education's Office of English Language Acquisition together account for the remaining 8 awards (16%). Sub-awards dominate the portfolio (58% of the 50 total awards) while direct prime grants represent 42%. Over the past five years, award volume has accelerated from one award annually in 2022 and 2023 to eight in 2024, five in 2025, and nineteen in 2026, suggesting a ramp in federal program participation. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $3.5 million. Only one award is slated to reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. The school district functions as an operational recipient of federal education entitlements and formula assistance targeted at Native American students, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged learners, and English language learners, rather than as a federal contractor or vendor pursuing competitive procurements.
