About the company
Independent School District 166, a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Grand Marais, Minnesota, receives federal education grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education as a prime recipient rather than as a federal contractor. The district operates as an eligible K-12 recipient under two recurring federal education programs: the Small, Rural School Achievement Program (formula grant) and the Impact Aid Program Title VII Section 7003 (project grant). ISD 166 is not a federal contractor; it does not hold federal contracts or contract vehicles, and it functions exclusively within the federal grant ecosystem.
ISD 166's federal footprint is concentrated entirely within the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for 41 of 42 total awards in the source data (100% of recent funding). The district has received ten years of grant awards dating to 2006, with recent activity showing three awards in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $5.2 million, with recent notable awards including a $309,838 Impact Aid Section 7003 grant dated October 1, 2025 (running through September 30, 2031) to offset revenue lost to federal property tax exemptions and to serve federally connected children in the district's enrollment, and annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants awarded on July 1 cycles (most recent July 1, 2026, with completion September 30, 2027). The district also receives sub-award funding from the Minnesota Department of Education, with two documented sub-grants in 2023 and 2024.
ISD 166's grant work centers on using federal assistance to support K-12 educational services and infrastructure in a rural Minnesota district where a significant share of enrolled students are federally connected (residing on federal property, living on Indian lands, or having a parent on active duty in the uniformed services). The Impact Aid awards run on multi-year cycles, with Section 7003 grants completing in 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, and 2031, while Small, Rural School Achievement Program grants renew annually. Only one award is scheduled to complete within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable ongoing funding rather than a recompete cliff. This profile reflects ISD 166's role as an eligible rural K-12 recipient of direct federal education entitlements and formula grants, not as a vendor providing goods or services to federal agencies.
