Independent School District # 152

Independent School District # 152, doing business as Moorhead Public Schools, is a Minnesota-based public school district that receives federal formula grants as a prime grant recipient from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, and participates as a sub-recipient in federal grant programs administered through the Minnesota Department of Education. The district operates as a U.S. local government entity — a public school district — and does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles; its federal footprint consists exclusively of educational grants.

Moorhead Public Schools' grant activity centers on Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), a formula grant program administered by the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. As a prime recipient, the district has received annual awards of $101,522 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023), $105,420 (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), $113,830 (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025), $117,748 (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026), and $116,630 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027). These grants fund comprehensive educational programs addressing the unique educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students, including targeted academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and specialized student support services. Performance is centered in Moorhead, Minnesota, with grant periods running annually on a July-to-June schedule.

Moorhead Public Schools' customer concentration is concentrated within the Department of Education. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 41 of the district's 48 total awards, while the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for 7 awards, representing 100% coverage across the two Department of Education offices. The district functions as a sub-recipient on 28 awards (58% of total activity) flowing through the Minnesota Department of Education, receiving pass-through funding for federal formula grant programs including Title I, IDEA, and the Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund to support educational services for Native American and disadvantaged students. Prime grant awards number 20 (42%), all under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program.

Activity has fluctuated across the recent period, with one award in 2022, twelve awards in 2023, fourteen in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 48 awards total $7.5 million.
