Glenwood School District 401

Glenwood School District 401, doing business as Glenwood Secondary School, is a U.S. local government entity and state-controlled educational institution based in Glenwood, Washington, operating as a prime recipient of federal education and nutrition grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. The district does not hold federal contracts; all federal engagement is grant-based, with 93% of awards as prime recipient and 7% as sub-recipient flowing through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The district's grant portfolio centers on three repeating federal education programs. Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Local Education Agencies) represent the plurality of awards across multiple fiscal years, with annual iterations awarded each July 1 and running through June 30. Impact Aid Program awards under Title VII, Section 7003 constitute longer-term project grants (multi-year performance periods running through 2028–2030 in recent cycles), awarded in October and February on project-grant terms. Small, Rural School Achievement Program awards round out the portfolio as formula grants with annual or biennial cycles. Recent prime-recipient awards include an Indian Education Formula Grant (July 1, 2026, completion June 30, 2027), an Impact Aid Program award (October 1, 2025, completion September 30, 2031), and a Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant (July 1, 2025, completion September 30, 2026). The district also receives sub-awards from the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction for Title I, Part A funding and Child Nutrition Programs reimbursement and administrative support (September 2023 and 2024, October 2024 awards).

Customer concentration is complete: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funds 55 of 58 total awards (95%), with the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounting for 3 awards (5%). All federal funding comes through these two agencies; no other customer agencies are present. Total obligated dollars across all awards (prime and sub, spanning from 2006 to 2026) amount to $673 thousand, indicating modest annual grant inflows typical of small rural school districts. Activity shows one award due for completion within the next twenty-four months, with no material recompete pressure in the immediate horizon. The district operates as a recipient institution absorbing federal categorical aid, not as a vendor or contractor in the competitive federal marketplace.
