Glascock County Board Of Education

Glascock County Board Of Education, a Georgia school district, acts as a sub-recipient on federal education and nutrition grants administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Food and Nutrition Service, and related education agencies. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates entirely within the federal grant ecosystem, with 94% of recent awards structured as sub-grants flowing through the Georgia Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Glascock County serves a rural, K-12 student population in Gibson, Georgia, and receives federal funding across a portfolio dominated by child nutrition programs and Title I school improvement initiatives. The district has received federal sub-grants for National School Breakfast Program reimbursement (recurring monthly), National School Lunch Program funding (recurring monthly), Title I-A school improvement and academic achievement grants, Title II-A teacher quality initiatives, IDEA special education flowthrough allocations (IDEA 611 and IDEA 619 for ages 3-5), Perkins V career and technical education grants, Title IV-B 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and TANF out-of-school youth services. As a prime recipient, Glascock County has held the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant in five consecutive cycles: awards issued July 1, 2022 through 2026, with the most recent running through September 30, 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward nutrition and elementary/secondary education. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 145 awards of 247 total (59%), covering school meal program reimbursement and food cost storage allocation. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 67 awards (27%), encompassing Title I, Title II, IDEA, and the Small, Rural School Achievement Program. The Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education holds 11 awards (4%), the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services holds 11 awards (4%), and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families holds 3 awards (1%). These five grantor agencies represent 96% of recent award volume.

Activity peaked in 2022-2023 (54 and 60 awards respectively) and has moderated to 23 awards in 2026 year-to-date. The combined dollars obligated across the entire 247-award portfolio total $8 million, reflecting the formula-grant and reimbursement-based nature of the funding (monthly meal program payments, predictable Title I allocations, and fixed special education flowthrough). Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The district's sub-recipient role places it downstream of the Georgia Department of Education on most education grants and the Georgia Department of Education or the Department of Human Services on nutrition and family services programs. Glascock County does not position itself as a vendor to federal contractors and carries no SBA certifications or set-aside designations as a school district entity.
