Clearbrook-Gonvick Independent School District 2311

Clearbrook-Gonvick Independent School District 2311, a Minnesota public school district, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to support K-12 instruction, special education, English language learning, and technology integration serving federally connected students in its service area. The district is a U.S. government entity structured as a local school district operating in Clearbrook, Minnesota, and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles — all federal activity flows through grant recipients and sub-recipient relationships.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 58 of 65 total awards (89%), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service carrying 5 awards and the Department of Education itself issuing 2 awards. Over the past several years, the district has maintained a consistent cadence of formula grants and project grants, receiving two awards in 2022, five each in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and two in 2026 to date.

The district's primary grant programs are the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grants), Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (formula grants), and the Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 (project grants, CFDA 84.041). Impact Aid awards specifically target districts where at least 3 percent or 400 of average daily attendance consists of federally connected children living on federal property (including Indian lands) or with parents employed on federal property or in the uniformed services. The district has received three Impact Aid project grants with multi-year performance windows: $204,048 awarded October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031; a December 16, 2024 award running through September 30, 2030; and a February 13, 2023 award running through September 30, 2028. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program and Indian Education Formula Grants run annually each July through June or September, received consistently since at least 2022. Combined dollars obligated across all 65 awards total $3.6 million. The district also acts as a sub-recipient under five sub-grant awards from the Minnesota Department of Education, dated between April 2023 and October 2025, further supporting state-level education programming. Two awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting a limited recompete window for these formula grant streams.
