Brighton School District #1

Brighton School District #1, doing business as Brighton Elementary School, is a U.S. government entity and public school district located in Kansasville, Wisconsin that receives federal grants as a prime recipient in K–12 education programs and as a sub-recipient through pass-through grants from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem, with no presence on contract vehicles or as a contract prime or subcontractor.

Brighton School District's federal funding footprint centers on three distinct customer agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued 20 awards, anchored by the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant that Brighton has received as prime recipient in successive awards dated July 1, 2022 through July 1, 2026 (running through September 30, 2027 for the most recent award). The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service has issued 17 awards, reflecting Brighton's participation in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) as a sub-recipient through monthly pass-through grants from Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, running monthly from October 2024 through June 2026 and continuing forward. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has issued 2 awards for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) flow-through grant program, also sub-received through Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. These three agencies account for 95% of Brighton's federal award count across 39 documented awards. The district has also received IDEA Part B formula grant awards for special education services to children with disabilities ages 3 through 21.

Recent activity has grown modestly, moving from one award in 2022 to five in 2024 and eleven in 2025, with seven awards recorded as of mid-2026. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $783 thousand, reflecting the modest scale of a small rural school district's federal grant receipts. The district acts as prime recipient on 46% of its awards (19 awards), with the balance (22 awards, 54%) flowing as sub-awards from state pass-through grantees. Only one award is scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
