Camp Verde Unified School District

Camp Verde Unified School District, a local government school district based in Camp Verde, Arizona, receives federal funding as a grant recipient (61% of recent awards as prime recipient, 39% as sub-recipient) but does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles. The district operates K-12 education programs and school safety initiatives funded by the Department of Education, the Department of Justice, and other federal agencies; it does not compete under set-aside categories, as it is a government entity.

The district's customer concentration is heavily concentrated with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which funds 55 of 63 awards listed (87% of the identifiable award count). The top five funding agencies account for 95% of recent awards. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for four awards, while the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program, the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration round out the active set. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $14.2 million since 2006, with 66 awards on record.

Camp Verde Unified School District operates primarily under federal formula grants and project grants channeled through the Department of Education. Prime recipient awards include an Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Section 7003) grant of $376,345 running October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2031, funding general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration for K-12 students. The district also holds annual Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, most recently awarded July 1, 2026. A Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program School Violence Prevention Program (CFDA 16.071) grant of $500,000 covers October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, supporting evidence-based school safety programs, security technology deployment (metal detectors, emergency notification systems), law enforcement coordination, and officer training for violence prevention at Camp Verde schools.

The district also receives sub-grants from the Arizona Department of Education. Recent sub-award activity (July 1, 2025 onward) includes Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Title II Improving Teacher Quality grants funding mentor teacher coaching and professional development in the district's Marzano High Reliability Schools Program, IDEA Basic Section 611 subgrants for special education, Title IV-A Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants supporting STEM resources, dual-credit coursework with Yavapai College, character development programming, and technology professional development, and Career and Technical Education grant programs. Additional sub-grants support rural and low-income school initiatives and summer enrichment programming.

Activity declined from a peak of eleven awards in 2024 to four awards in 2026; only two awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal immediate recompete pressure. The district has held a federal presence for twenty years, with the source recording awards back to October 2006, positioning it as a stable recipient of education and public safety grant funding for a Native American-affected and English language learner population in rural Arizona.
