Fremont County School District #6

Fremont County School District #6, a local education agency based in Pavillion, Wyoming, is a recipient of federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture, operating predominantly as a sub-recipient (72% of recent awards) under pass-through grants administered by the Wyoming Department of Education and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. The district holds no federal prime contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant work.

The district's prime grant awards center on two programs from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. Fremont County School District #6 holds a formula grant for Indian Education under the Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs program, with recurring annual awards (most recent July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027). The district also receives Impact Aid funding under Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), which addresses revenue loss where federal property presence reduces the local tax base; a $279,398 project grant awarded October 1, 2025, runs through September 30, 2031 and funds K-12 education delivery to students with federally connected eligibility. Prior Impact Aid awards from the district date to January 2023, with multiple overlapping project periods extending to September 2030.

Sub-recipient work flows almost entirely through the Wyoming Department of Education, with a smaller volume through the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality. The vast majority of sub-awards fall under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (recurring monthly allocations from the Wyoming Department of Education), supplemented by sub-awards under ESEA Consolidated Title I, Part A; Title II, Part A; Title IV, Part A; IDEA Parts B 611 and 619; Perkins V Secondary; and Title I School Improvement programs. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality channels two additional sub-award programs: School Bus Replacement and DERA School Bus Replacement funding, both awarded in 2024 and 2025. The district received one sub-award under the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Program Grant (November 2023) and one under ARP ESSER State Reserve Funds (November 2023), both flowing through Wyoming Department of Education.

Activity has grown substantially — from eight awards in 2021 to a peak of 25 in 2025 — though the count reflects the monthly cadence of child nutrition pass-throughs rather than programmatic growth. The district's combined obligation across all eighty-one awards totals $8.8 million. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education anchors the portfolio with forty awards covering Indian Education and Impact Aid direct grants plus various title and IDEA sub-awards. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for twenty-five awards (the National School Lunch and School Breakfast sub-awards flowing through Wyoming state administration). The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Environmental Protection Agency Region 8, and the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education represent the remaining distinct customer agencies. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, yielding minimal recompete exposure in that window.
