Central Valley Public Schools

Central Valley Public Schools, doing business as Central Valley High School, is a public school district in Greeley, Nebraska, that receives federal education and nutrition grants as a sub-recipient (76% of recent awards) and, less frequently, as a prime recipient of direct grants from the U.S. Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not compete for procurement work; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, routed through the Nebraska Department of Education as the state pass-through agency.

The district's grant activity concentrates on two federal grantor agencies across education and child nutrition programs. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 20 of 42 recent awards, primarily through annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSAP) formula grants awarded to the district as prime recipient each July (2022 through 2026, with the most recent award on July 1, 2026, running through September 30, 2027). The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 19 awards, all routed through the Nebraska Department of Education as sub-awards; these include Title I Part A Basic Grants to LEAs, Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, IDEA special education allocations, and state grant block allocations, with award dates ranging from October 2023 through May 2026. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services holds three awards. The district also received a sub-award for Nebraska's Journey to Inclusive Literacy through NeMTSS reallocation in October 2025 and a School Mental Health Project sub-award in January 2024.

Central Valley Public Schools' federal footprint expanded sharply in 2024 (fifteen awards) and 2025 (thirteen awards), following minimal activity in 2022–2023. Combined obligated funding across all awards totals $968 thousand. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure near-term. The district operates as a sub-recipient on the vast majority of its federal education awards, with the exception of the direct SRSAP prime grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which arrive as formula allocations tied to rural and small-school status rather than competitive procurement.
