Clarkson Public School District 58

Clarkson Public School District 58, doing business as Clarkson Public School, is a rural Nebraska school district that receives federal funding as a prime grant recipient from the U.S. Department of Education, primarily through formula grant programs for small and rural schools, and serves as a sub-recipient for education funding distributed by the Nebraska Department of Education. The district is a U.S. government entity (local government school district) with no federal contract vehicles and no role as a prime contractor; all federal work flows through grant awards and sub-grant distributions to support K-12 instruction and special education services.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated in education funding channels. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has issued five successive Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (one per fiscal year from 2022 through 2026), each awarded on July 1 and running through September 30 of the following year. The district also receives sub-grant allocations from the Nebraska Department of Education, which acts as the prime state grantee for multiple federal programs including Title I Basic Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, Special Education (IDEA) programs, and various block grant distributions. Across the source data spanning 2007 through mid-2026, Clarkson Public School has received 19 prime grant awards and 24 sub-grant awards, totaling 43 federal transactions with combined dollars obligated of $889 thousand. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors 23 awards (100% coverage across the top-three customer agencies); the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 17 awards, likely representing child nutrition programs such as the National School Lunch Program; and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services represents 3 awards.

Activity has grown from a single award in 2022 to ten in 2024, with nine awards in 2025 and two in the first half of 2026. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited recompete exposure in the near term. The district's federal role is that of a school-district recipient of formula grants and state pass-through funding dedicated to K-12 operations, special education services, and student nutrition — not a vendor competing for federal contract work or delivering services to agencies outside the education sector.
