Hebron Public School District 13

Hebron Public School District 13, doing business as Hebron Elementary School, is a U.S. local government school district located in Hebron, North Dakota that receives federal grant funding as a recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service. The district operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient (90% of recent awards), receiving pass-through funding from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction rather than as a prime grant recipient.

Hebron Elementary School's federal footprint centers on K-12 educational programming and child nutrition support. As a prime recipient, the district has received annual formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards on July 1, 2022, July 1, 2023, July 1, 2024, July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026, each running through the following September 30. As a sub-recipient, the district receives the majority of its federal funding through the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction in the form of child nutrition programs: the School Breakfast Program (SBP), the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) for both free/reduced and paid meals, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), and Commodity Nutrition (CN Block) allocations. The district also receives pass-through funding for Title I (CFDA 84.010A), Title II teacher professional development, cybersecurity initiatives, and physical protective measures from the state department.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 72 awards (86% of the district's total award count), while the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 10 awards (12%). Together these two agencies represent 98% of recent awards. Funding flows predominantly through North Carolina's state educational intermediary rather than directly to the school district; the district has not held federal contracts or sat on contract vehicles. Award activity has grown substantially—from one award in 2022 to 26 in 2026—driven almost entirely by recurring monthly distributions of child nutrition funding. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months. The district's combined dollars obligated across all federal sources is $2 million, reflecting the modest scale of rural K-12 operations and the pass-through nature of most child nutrition and Title I funding.
