Johnsonburg Area School District

Johnsonburg Area School District is a U.S. local government school district entity that receives federal grants directly from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and acts as a sub-recipient on federal nutrition and education funding flows routed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, not a federal contractor or vendor selling goods or services.

Johnsonburg Area School District operates as a prime recipient on direct federal grants and as a sub-recipient on pass-through funding from Pennsylvania; the entity holds no federal contracts and does not compete under set-asides. The district's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded, centered on K-12 education administration and school nutrition programs. As a prime recipient, the district has received five consecutive annual Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards dated July 1 in each of 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, each running through the following September 30. The most recent prime award was issued July 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.

The district's dominant revenue source, accounting for the vast majority of its recent award activity, flows through sub-recipient status. Between 2022 and 2026, Johnsonburg has received 61 sub-awards (82% of total awards) passed through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, primarily under federal entitlement reimbursement programs for school meals and milk provision to eligible children. The district also received targeted sub-awards for school food-equipment purchases and infrastructure improvements — a December 2023 sub-award for competitively awarded equipment grants to serve healthier meals and support the School Breakfast Program, and a November 2023 sub-award providing relief funding to assist with supply chain disruptions and strengthen local food supply chains. In April 2022, the district received an American Rescue Plan Act emergency education relief sub-award from the Pennsylvania Department of Education worth a portion of the state's $4.9 billion total allocation.

Award volume has grown from four awards in 2022 to a peak of twenty in 2025, with thirteen awards logged through July 2026. The combined dollar obligation across all seventy-four awards totals $2.6 million. Only one award is scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure. The district serves three distinct federal agencies — the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (55 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (17 awards), and a second Food and Nutrition Service line (2 awards) — with 100% coverage of the active award set represented in this concentration.
