Franklin Co R2 School District

Franklin County R-II School District, a U.S. local government entity based in New Haven, Missouri, is a prime recipient of federal education grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with supplemental sub-recipient awards flowing through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not compete under set-asides; it operates as a K–12 public school district receiving direct formula grants and pass-through funding for rural school improvement, special education, nutrition, and emergency relief programs.

The district's grant footprint centers on the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, a formula grant the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded annually since 2022, with awards issued July 1 each year through September 30 completion cycles. The most recent Small, Rural School Achievement Program award was issued July 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027. Beyond direct prime grants, the district receives sub-recipient awards passed through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education covering IDEA Part B (special education), CNP Block (child nutrition), Title I Part A (educationally deprived students), and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund allocations. A July 22, 2026 CNP Block Grant sub-award and multiple IDEA Part B sub-awards dating to 2023 document ongoing participation in federal nutrition and special-education funding streams.

The district's customer concentration is narrow and stable: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 26 of 32 total awards (81% of the portfolio by award count), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services each contributing two to three awards. Combined dollars obligated across all 32 awards total $1.2 million. Activity has remained modest and flat — one award in 2022, four awards each in 2023 and 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 — reflecting the rhythm of formula-grant cycles and pass-through funding distributions rather than competitive procurement growth. One award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district's federal funding supports rural K–12 operations, special education compliance, and student nutrition programs typical of small rural school systems.
