County Of Hennepin Independent School District 279

County Of Hennepin Independent School District 279, doing business as Osseo Area Public Schools, is a U.S. local government school district based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and subrecipient to support K-12 educational programs for Native American students and economically disadvantaged populations. The district does not hold federal contracts or operate as a prime contractor on contract vehicles; its federal footprint is grant-funded, with 30% of recent awards as prime recipient grants and 70% as sub-recipient grants flowing through the Minnesota Department of Education and other state and local pass-through entities.

Osseo Area Public Schools' primary federal funding stream is the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The district has received five consecutive annual formula grant awards under this program: $115,134 (July 2022–June 2023), $116,777 (July 2023–June 2024), $118,148 (July 2024–June 2025), $120,277 (July 2025–June 2026), and $124,310 (July 2026–June 2027). These grants fund academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services designed to help American Indian and Alaska Native students meet state academic standards while preserving cultural heritage. Administrative costs are capped at 5% of award amounts, and performance measures track student achievement in reading and mathematics, high school graduation rates, and culturally responsive programming. The district's grant performance takes place in Osseo, Minnesota.

Beyond the primary CFDA 84.060 stream, Osseo Area Public Schools receives substantial sub-recipient funding through the Minnesota Department of Education for supplemental programs including COVID-19 relief (American Rescue Plan/ESSER III), fresh fruit and vegetable nutrition initiatives (CFDA 10.582), McKinney-Vento homeless student services, special education, and vocational education. The district also holds a single sub-award from Northwest Suburban Integration School District for the I Be Steaming! Ahead Grant (MSAP). The Minnesota Department of Education accounts for the overwhelming majority of sub-award volume — nearly 40 documented sub-awards across the snapshot period — with awards issued across multiple funding cycles and fiscal years. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service provides nine sub-awards related to nutrition and meal programs.

Activity trajectory shows volatility reflective of grant-cycle timing: one award in 2022, 19 in 2023, 23 in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all prime and sub awards total $20.3 million over the source period. The district serves seven distinct customer agencies, with the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education dominating the award count (42 awards, representing 97% coverage of active awards alongside the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services with 12 awards and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service with nine awards). Only one award is projected to reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district's federal role is entirely as a recipient of formula and pass-through grant funding administered by state intermediaries, with no contract prime or sub-contractor footprint in the federal procurement system.
