Colfax School District

Colfax School District, operating as Big Burning School, is a U.S. local government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since June 23, 2009, with registration valid until August 15, 2026. Located in Bad Axe, Michigan, the school district is primarily a public educational institution serving the local community. Its federal grant engagement is exclusively focused on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, which provides targeted funding support to smaller, rural educational institutions to help them maintain and improve educational services.

The school district has consistently received Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education annually from fiscal year 2021 through 2025. These grants, awarded each year on July 1 with completion dates set for the subsequent September 30, represent a continuous federal funding commitment to support rural educational infrastructure and programming. While the specific detailed allocations are not provided, these formula grants typically help rural school districts address unique challenges such as limited resources, geographic isolation, and smaller student populations by providing flexible funding that can be used for educational improvements, technology upgrades, professional development, or supplemental instructional resources. The recurring nature of these grants suggests Colfax School District has maintained compliance with federal grant requirements and demonstrated effective utilization of previous funding allocations.
