Aleutian Region School District

Aleutian Region School District, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, receives federal grant funding from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and operates as a prime grant recipient (72% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient on education formula and program grants routed through the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated in education financing. Ninety percent of the district's 60 awards — all grants, no contracts — flow from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with four additional awards from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and two from the Department of Education broadly. The district acts as prime recipient on recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (awarded annually in July, running through the following September 30) and on multi-year Impact Aid Program awards under Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), which provide financial assistance to offset lost local tax revenue from federally connected property. A representative Impact Aid award issued October 1, 2025, carries $115,368 and runs through September 30, 2031; concurrent Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants are issued on the same annual cycle. As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through allocations from Alaska's state education agency for Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Title IIA Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, Special Education Title VIB LEA Grants, Migrant Education Grants, and Title 1A School Improvement Grants, with sub-awards flowing in autumn (October through November) each year.

Activity has been stable at three to eight awards per year over the past five years, with only one award recorded in 2026 to date. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $4.5 million. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's role is strictly that of a recipient institution executing federal education policy rather than competing as a vendor or subcontracting on federal procurements.
