School District Of Gilmanton

School District Of Gilmanton, a Wisconsin public school district based in Gilmanton, operates as a federal grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program and as a sub-recipient of federal education and nutrition assistance flowing through state agencies, with no federal contract work. The district is a U.S. government entity and state-controlled educational institution that competes for and receives direct formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) and manages sub-grant allocations from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction across Title I, IDEA Part B special education, and National School Lunch Program (NSLP) funding streams.

The district's federal footprint centers on three grantor agencies and two primary grant programs. The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 22 of 45 total awards, anchored by five consecutive annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (CFDA pending) awarded July 1 of each year from 2022 through 2026, with ultimate completion dates between September 2023 and September 2027. The Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service drives 17 awards, predominantly NSLP sub-grants flowing through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction on a monthly or biennial cadence since 2023. The Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for three awards, centered on IDEA Part B formula sub-grants for special education services to children ages three through twenty-one. Sub-recipient awards (58% of the district's portfolio) include Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies (CFDA 84.010), IDEA Part B Sections 611 and 619, and NSLP allocations flowing downstream from Wisconsin. Prime recipient awards (42% of the portfolio) are five Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants.

The district's combined obligations across all awards total $799 thousand over nineteen years of documented activity, with acceleration in recent years — one award in 2022, two in 2023, seven in 2024, twelve in 2025, and eight in 2026. Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (the SRSA grant ending September 30, 2025 was already live as of the October 15, 2026 assessment date and is substantially complete). The district receives no federal contracts and does not operate under any federal contract vehicles or set-aside programs. Federal engagement consists entirely of K–12 education formula grants and nutrition assistance allocations to support instruction, special education services, and meal programs for a small rural student population.
