Crosslake Community School

Crosslake Community School, doing business as Charter School, is a rural Minnesota public school district that receives federal education formula grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime grant recipient, and operates as a sub-recipient on additional federal education awards passed through the Minnesota Department of Education.

The organization is a U.S. government entity classified as a local school district, headquartered in Crosslake, Minnesota. Crosslake does not hold federal contracts; all federal activity is grant-based, centered on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. The school district acts as prime recipient on five formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded July 1 annually between 2022 and 2026, with ultimate completion dates running September 30 of the following year. The organization also receives sub-grant awards from the Minnesota Department of Education, acting as sub-recipient on eight sub-awards between 2023 and 2025 carrying program designations 000-401 and 000-419.

Customer concentration is narrow and static. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services account for 100% of recent awards, with the former dominating the footprint at 25 awards and the latter at four awards. Combined obligation across all 29 awards in the source data (spanning back to 2007) totals $858 thousand, reflecting the modest scale typical of small rural school districts receiving formula-grant allocation rather than discretionary competitive awards. Activity has remained light — one award in 2022, three in 2023, six in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

The school district does not hold seats on federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or BPAs. All federal activity flows through direct formula-grant awards from the Department of Education and sub-grant pass-through awards from Minnesota's education agency. Crosslake's 69% prime-to-31% sub split reflects the school district's primary identity as a direct recipient of Small, Rural School Achievement Program funds, with supplemental federal resources routed through state intermediation.
