Delta-Greely School District

Delta-Greely School District, a U.S. government entity and local educational agency in Delta Junction, Alaska, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient (39% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient (61% of recent awards) to support K-12 education services, with particular focus on military-connected students and federally impacted enrollment populations.

The district's prime grant portfolio centers on three federal programs. The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) funds military-connected student support through the Competitive Grants: Promoting K-12 Student Achievement at Military-Connected Schools program (CFDA 12.556). Delta-Greely has received two DoDEA awards under this vehicle—a $500,000 project grant awarded September 30, 2024, running through May 31, 2029, and a $1,038,766.25 competitive grant awarded July 28, 2026, running through July 27, 2031—both supporting curriculum development, academic interventions, counseling, enrichment programs, educator training, and technology integration for the district's highly mobile military-connected student population. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) funds impact aid under the Impact Aid Program (CFDA 84.041, Title VII, Section 7003), which replaces lost local revenue from federal property exempt from property taxation. Delta-Greely received a $252,813 project grant on October 1, 2025, running through September 30, 2031, serving federally connected students where at least three percent or 400 of average daily attendance comprises eligible children. OESE also awards Rural Education Achievement Program (REAP) formula grants under the RLIS Special Qualified Agencies track, with Delta-Greely holding recurring annual awards covering fiscal years 2022 through 2027.

Customer concentration reflects the district's operational profile. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominates the award count at 44 awards across all programs, followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (34 awards), the Department of Defense Education Activity (10 awards), the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (4 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education (3 awards). These five agencies account for 95% of all awards.

As a sub-recipient, Delta-Greely participates in federal education programs channeled through the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development and through Catholic Social Services Inc. The bulk of sub-awards relate to the National School Lunch Program, with monthly or quarterly flow-through grants from the state department spanning from 2022 through 2026. The district also receives sub-awards for Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Special Education Title VIB LEA Grants, Career and Technical Education Basic Secondary Grants, Migrant Education Grants, Title IIA Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, and State Administrative Expense Funds. Through Catholic Social Services, Delta-Greely provides academic supports including a Dominant Language tutor for Office of Refugee Resettlement eligible students and their families.

Activity has grown substantially. The district received 6 awards in 2022, scaling to 24 in 2025, with 10 awards recorded in 2026 to date. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $15.3 million. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable multi-year funding commitments across the current portfolio.
