Delta C-7 School District

Delta C-7 School District, a U.S. local government school district based in Bragg City, Missouri, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering K–12 education, school safety infrastructure, and distance learning services to rural students. The district receives funding as a direct prime recipient on federal education and safety grants (58% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on pass-through education funding from the Missouri Department of Education and state health agencies (42% of recent awards). Delta C-7 does not hold federal contracts or participate in contract vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded.

The district's customer concentration is overwhelmingly concentrated with the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 29 of 37 awards identified (76% of award count). The Department of Agriculture, through both the Food and Nutrition Service and the Rural Utilities Service, accounts for 7 awards. The Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program has placed one award. Combined dollars obligated across all federal awards total $3.3 million, with activity modest but consistent: three awards in 2022, four in 2023, seven in 2024, four in 2025, and three in 2026.

As a prime recipient, Delta C-7 holds recurring Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued annually on July 1 covering twelve-month performance periods. Recent prime awards include a $906,571 Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grants award from the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (CFDA 10.855, performance period through September 23, 2027) to fund distance learning infrastructure for rural students, and a $499,712 School Violence Prevention Program award from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Program (CFDA 16.071, performance period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028) to implement evidence-based school security improvements, physical security measures such as metal detectors and emergency notification systems, and law enforcement coordination training.

As a sub-recipient, Delta C-7 receives Title I Part A Educationally Deprived funding, Child Nutrition Program block grants, American Rescue Plan elementary and secondary school relief funds, and child nutrition meal-provision funding through the Missouri Department of Education and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure. The district's federal grant portfolio is characteristic of rural school districts eligible for consolidated federal education support under formula grant structures rather than competitive procurement.
