Eustis-Farnam Public Schools

Eustis-Farnam Public Schools, a rural school district based in Eustis, Nebraska, receives federal education and nutrition grants as a direct recipient from the Department of Education and as a sub-recipient from the Department of Education Nebraska, operating in the K–12 public education sector rather than as a federal contractor or vendor.

Eustis-Farnam is a U.S. local government entity and school district, not a for-profit or contractor. The district's federal footprint centers on two distinct grant streams: direct prime recipient awards under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (SRSA) from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and pass-through sub-recipient funding from the Department of Education Nebraska for special education, nutrition programs, and school mental health initiatives. Prime awards under SRSA are formula grants with annual cycles — the district has received consecutive SRSA awards each July from 2022 through 2026, with completion dates running through September of the following year. Recent sub-recipient awards from the Nebraska Department of Education (awarded between May 2024 and November 2025) carry program descriptions including IDEA special education funding (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act programs 6411, 6412, 6408), block grants, and a School Mental Health Project award dated November 2022.

The district's customer concentration is entirely within the Department of Education ecosystem. Of 31 total awards tracked in the source, 21 awards flow from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) or arrive as pass-throughs from the Department of Education Nebraska; 7 awards derive from the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (likely child nutrition program funding); and 3 awards come from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). All three customer agencies represent federal K–12 education and nutrition support directed to rural public school districts. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $634 thousand. Activity has been episodic — one or two awards per year from 2022 to 2023, then five awards in 2024 and six in 2025 — reflecting the cyclical nature of education formula grants and pass-through funding. Only one award (the current-year SRSA award dated July 1, 2026, with completion date September 30, 2027) extends beyond the next twenty-four-month recompete window, indicating limited near-term funding cliff exposure. The district does not hold parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all activity is direct grant receipt or sub-recipient award flow.
