Hamilton Community School District

Hamilton Community School District, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Hamilton, Indiana, receives federal grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient focused on K–12 education and child nutrition programs. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively within the federal grant space, with 26% of recent awards held as prime recipient and 74% received as sub-recipient allocations from state education agencies.

Hamilton Community School District's federal footprint centers on two federal grant programs administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 each year from 2022 through 2026. These awards run on an annual cycle with ultimate completion dates in September of the following year — the most recent award dated July 1, 2026, carries completion through September 30, 2027. The district also receives sub-recipient grant allocations from the Indiana Department of Education, which flows federal dollars to the district as a sub-grantee. Between July 2022 and July 2026, the district received thirty grant allocations to subrecipient status from Indiana's education department, representing monthly or quarterly pass-through distributions of federal funds.

Activity has remained steady across the five-year window, averaging between five and nine awards annually. The district's combined dollars obligated across all fifty-four awards total $1.9 million, reflecting the modest scale of a rural school district's federal footprint. Customer concentration is absolute: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service account for 100% of awards in the source data. Within the next twenty-four months, one award reaches ultimate completion, creating minimal recompete exposure. The district's federal grant profile is characteristic of rural K–12 systems eligible for Small, Rural School Achievement funding — formula-based, recurring, and designed to support instructional capacity in districts serving populations under 10,000.
