Creek Valley School District

Creek Valley School District, operating as Creek Valley Schools, is a local government education agency based in Chappell, Nebraska, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient through the U.S. Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, with no federal contracting footprint. The district operates exclusively under federal grant programs, not federal contracts or contract vehicles.

Creek Valley Schools functions primarily as a sub-recipient (61% of recent awards) flowing funding from the Nebraska Department of Education and leveraging direct prime grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received five consecutive annual allocations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant, July awards through September completions) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the most recent awards dated July 1, 2026 (completion September 30, 2027) and July 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026). As a sub-recipient, the district flows monthly block grants and Title I allocations channeled through the Nebraska Department of Education, with twenty-four sub-awards documented in the past two years covering Title I Part A Basic Grants to Local Education Agencies, Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies, State Grant-B funding, IDEA special education programs (IDEA-NonPublic, IDEA-CEIS, IDEA-PtB), and Child Nutrition Program blocks.

Customer concentration is split between two federal agencies. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for twenty-four awards (49% of the total award count); the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for twenty-three awards (47% of the total); and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for two awards (4% of the total). Combined dollars obligated across all forty-nine awards total $823 thousand. Award activity increased sharply in 2024 (fourteen awards) and 2025 (thirteen awards) after years of minimal activity, with only one award carrying ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating low recompete exposure. The district does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, does not bid as a prime contractor on federal contracts or IDIQs, and does not serve as a subcontractor to federal prime contractors.
