Board Of Education Of Ogden City

Board Of Education Of Ogden City, a Utah-based school district, is a recipient of federal formula grants and project grants for K-12 student services, operating primarily as a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from the Utah State Board of Education (81% of recent awards) and less frequently as a prime recipient (19%). The district holds no federal contracts and does not compete under set-aside categories.

The district's federal funding footprint is concentrated in student nutrition and special education programming. As a prime recipient, Ogden City School District has received Indian Education Formula Grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (annually from 2022 through 2027, with ultimate completion dates running through June 2027), a $999,970 three-year Project Grant from the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance for the Ogden STOP School Violence Project (award date October 1, 2024; completion September 30, 2027), and a Project Grant from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (award date February 1, 2025; completion May 31, 2028). The STOP School Violence project focuses on restorative practices training, student engagement via Check & Connect programming, and school climate improvement through threat assessment and reduced suspensions and chronic absenteeism.

As a sub-recipient, the district receives the majority of its federal funding through the Utah State Board of Education in the form of pass-through allocations. The top funding agencies by award count are the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (92 awards, accounting for the largest volume of the district's sub-awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (54 awards). Sub-recipient awards cover National School Lunch Program allocations (free and reduced meals, paid lunch, after-school programs), Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program grants, School Breakfast Program funding, child and adult day care meal programs, career and technical education formula funds (FLEA), Title I flow-through, IDEA special education flow-through, McKinney-Vento homeless assistance, English Language Learner support, and preschool special education allocations. The district also received a sub-award from the Executive Office of the State of Utah for Career and Technical Education Formula Reserve funding (October 2, 2024) and American Rescue Plan emergency funding for non-public schools (September 23, 2024). Total federal dollars obligated across all awards (prime and sub combined) is $123.5 million.

Award activity has accelerated significantly in recent years—from one award in 2022 to 69 in 2024 and 53 in 2025—driven by the volume of monthly nutrition and education allocations flowing through the Utah State Board of Education. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete pressure. The district serves thirteen distinct federal agencies, though concentration remains heavily weighted to Department of Agriculture and Department of Education funding streams that support operational school programs rather than federal contracting activity.
