Box Elder School District #13-G

Box Elder Public Schools is a non-profit educational organization located in Box Elder, Montana, serving the K-12 educational needs of a rural community with significant federal land presence. Registered in SAM.gov since 2008, the organization provides comprehensive educational services to students in a region that experiences financial challenges due to reduced local tax bases. As a public school district, Box Elder Public Schools primarily receives federal grants to support its educational mission, with a particular focus on serving indigenous communities and rural school districts.

The organization has consistently secured federal grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, primarily through programs such as the Impact Aid Program, Indian Education Formula Grants, Small, Rural School Achievement Program, and specialized literacy initiatives. These grants, totaling over $9 million in the past five years, have supported a wide range of educational services including general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration. Additionally, Box Elder Public Schools has received sub-grants from the Montana Office of Public Instruction, including COVID-19 relief funding (ESSER III), Title IV Student Support grants, and other targeted educational support programs. The grants demonstrate the organization's ability to secure consistent federal funding to maintain high-quality educational services in a challenging rural environment with a significant Native American student population.
