Aleutians E Borough School District

Aleutians E Borough School District, a U.S. local government entity and rural school district based in Sand Point, Alaska, receives federal formula and project grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime recipient, and also functions as a sub-recipient of pass-through education grants from the State of Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. The district operates as a rural K-12 educational agency serving federally connected children in Alaska and does not compete for federal contracts.

The district's federal funding is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education, which accounts for 100% of the 70 recorded awards across all funding sources. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education represents 63 of those awards (90%), with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services providing 4 awards and a single departmental award completing the portfolio. The district serves four distinct federal customer agencies in total, reflecting the narrow set of education-focused funding channels available to local educational agencies.

Aleutians E Borough School District's prime grant work centers on three recurring federal education programs: the Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs, the Small Rural School Achievement Program, and the Impact Aid Program under Title VII, Section 7003 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Recent prime grants include a $1.909 million Impact Aid project grant awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031, which provides federal assistance to offset educational demand from federally connected children and reduced local tax bases; formula grants for Indian education and small rural school achievement awarded July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026; and an earlier Impact Aid project grant awarded February 14, 2023, extending through September 30, 2028. These awards recognize the district's status as a rural school district with substantial federally connected student enrollment—the district qualifies for Impact Aid by enrolling at least three percent or 400 federally connected children in average daily attendance.

As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from Alaska's Department of Education and Early Development across Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Special Education Title VIB LEA Grants, Migrant Education Grants, and Comprehensive Literacy State Development Program grants. The most recent sub-award activity spans October 2025, with eight sub-award agreements in place as of mid-2025, indicating steady state support for special education, literacy development, migrant services, and title I instruction.

Activity has remained steady over the past five years, with award counts holding at 6 to 9 grants annually from 2022 through 2025 and dropping to 2 recorded awards in 2026 to date (through July 1). The district carries no recompete cliff exposure in the next twenty-four months among the principal awards tracked in the source. Combined obligated dollars across all 70 awards total $38.8 million, accumulated over a funding history dating to October 2006. The district maintains a subsidiary, the Akutan Corp, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned for-profit business entity, though the source does not enumerate separate award activity or corporate integration with the district's education mission.
