Fremont County School District 25

Fremont County School District 25, a public school district located in Riverton, Wyoming, is a federal grant recipient serving as a prime recipient on Indian Education and Impact Aid grants from the U.S. Department of Education (23 prime awards, 22% of recent portfolio) and as a sub-recipient on nutrition, special education, career and technical education, and literacy programs flowing through the Wyoming Department of Education (82 sub-awards, 78% of recent portfolio). The district does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based.

The district's primary mission centers on serving a significant Native American student population across multiple school sites in Fremont County. As a prime recipient, the district holds annual formula grants under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), which fund academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services for American Indian and Alaska Native students. Representative prime awards include $217,801 for the July 2026–June 2027 performance period, $218,088 for July 2025–June 2026, $226,705 for July 2024–June 2025, $256,971 for July 2023–June 2024, and $150,993 for July 2022–June 2023. The district also receives Impact Aid formula grants under Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) to offset lost local property tax revenue from federally connected children; a $295,781 award issued October 1, 2025, runs through September 30, 2031, and a $256,971 award issued March 3, 2025, runs through September 30, 2030.

Customer concentration is dominated by education and nutrition programs. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 46 awards (nearly 44% of the portfolio), flowing largely through monthly sub-awards for the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, all sub-awarded by the Wyoming Department of Education. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 40 awards (38% of portfolio), including the Indian Education and Impact Aid prime grants plus sub-awards for IDEA Part B (special education), ESEA Title I (school improvement), Title II (teacher quality), Title IV (student support), and the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act. The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services represents 10 awards, and the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education represents 5 awards, all sub-awards. Combined, these four education and agriculture agencies cover 97% of the award count.

Activity has accelerated sharply. The district received 3 awards in 2022, 2 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 37 in 2025, and 20 in 2026 year-to-date. The recent surge reflects the monthly cycle of nutrition program sub-awards from Wyoming Department of Education. Only one award (combined potential value not specified in source) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in the near term. The district's grant portfolio combined obligated dollars total $37.8 million across all 105 awards since 2007. As a sub-recipient across nutrition and education programs, Fremont County School District 25 operates as a pass-through entity for federal education and child nutrition funding administered by the state of Wyoming.
