Edmunds Central School District 22-5

Edmunds Central School District 22-5, a public school district in Roscoe, South Dakota, operates as a prime recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and serves as a sub-recipient on additional Title and nutrition-support grants routed through the South Dakota Department of Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not compete for procurement; all federal activity is grant-based, characteristic of a K-12 public education entity.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated in education and agricultural workforce development. As a prime recipient, Edmunds Central has received four consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from OESE (awards July 2023 through July 2026), with the most recent award dated July 1, 2026, completing September 30, 2027. As a sub-recipient, the district has received nine pass-through awards from the South Dakota Department of Education covering Title I Basic, Title I Migrant, Title IV, Title IIA REAP, Title I, and National School Lunch Program block grant funding (awards spanning October 2023 through September 2025). In 2023, the district received a sub-award from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources for a specialty-crop workforce-development project: training 66 Pre-K through 12 teachers across 50 South Dakota school districts in honey production and pollinator industry curriculum development, with cohorts attending three-day institutes in Bakersfield, California (pollination) and Woodville, Mississippi (colony formation) and a two-day institute in Roscoe (honey production at the Adee Honey plant), culminating in a curriculum of nearly 150 lessons on South Dakota's honey industry available statewide by 2026.

Across all federal awards in the source data (23 total, spanning 2007 to 2026), the district has obligated $911 thousand. Activity has remained modest and episodic — two awards per year in 2021 and 2023, then ramping to three in 2024 and five in 2025 — with only one award (the July 2026 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant) completing inside the next twenty-four months. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 21 of 23 awards; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and Agricultural Marketing Service account for one award each. The district is not a federal contractor and does not pursue IDIQs, GWACs, or set-asides. All activity reflects standard K-12 education and rural agricultural-education programming, with no evidence of commercial-sector federal business development.
