Chippewa Valley Schools

Chippewa Valley Schools, a U.S. government entity and local school district headquartered in Charter Township of Clinton, Michigan, operates as a recipient of federal education grants and a sub-recipient of pass-through funding from state education agencies, with no federal contracting prime footprint. The district's federal activity concentrates almost entirely on grant-funded K–12 education and workforce development programs flowing through the Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.

Chippewa Valley Schools' grant portfolio is dominated by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE). The district holds five consecutive annual Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Education Agencies) as prime recipient, with awards covering fiscal years 2022–2027 under the assistance type formula grant. In its primary role as sub-recipient, Chippewa Valley Schools received 73 of its 95 total awards (77% of the portfolio) as pass-through sub-awards from Michigan state agencies. The Michigan Department of Education is the overwhelmingly dominant prime grantee, channeling to Chippewa Valley Schools sub-awards spanning Title I, Part A (disadvantaged student academic achievement), Title IV, Part A (well-rounded education and school technology), English Language Acquisition grants, professional development for teachers and school leaders, USDA child nutrition programs, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER III) mitigation funding. The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has also sub-awarded Adult Education and Family Literacy Act state grants to the district. Representative sub-award work includes Title I, Part A programs for disadvantaged children, English Language Acquisition support for English learners, teacher quality and leadership grants, and support for various USDA nutrition programs across Michigan. The district also received sub-awards for immigrant student education and technology access initiatives.

Federal funding concentration sits with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 65 of the district's 95 awards (68% of award count). The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service represents the second-largest customer with 22 awards, primarily supporting child nutrition services. The Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition, the Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education, and the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service complete the top-five customer set. Together, these five agencies cover 98% of all awards in the source data. The district has no recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months. Combined dollars obligated across the full ninety-five-award portfolio total $94.8 million over the award period spanning from 2007 forward, with activity holding steady at ten to fifteen awards annually across 2022–2026.
