Kenai Peninsula Borough School District

Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, a U.S. local government entity based in Soldotna, Alaska, operates as a federal grant recipient (15% of awards) and sub-recipient (85% of awards) in K–12 education and child nutrition programs, with no direct federal contract prime or subcontract work.

The district's federal footprint concentrates in two grantor agencies. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 67 of 149 total awards and funds the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables grants, and Local Food for Schools Cooperative sub-awards flowing through the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education holds 58 awards: direct prime grants under the Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060) — yielding $366,711 (FY 2026–27), $372,848 (FY 2025–26), $384,386 (FY 2024–25), and $412,660 (FY 2023–24) — and sub-awards for Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Title IIA Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, Migrant Education Grants, Special Education Title VI grants, Career and Technical Education grants, Education for Homeless Children and Youth, and American Rescue Plan–funded learning-loss and preschool special education programs. The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services contributes 10 sub-awards, and the Office of Career Technical and Adult Education contributes 6. A single cybersecurity sub-award of $76,500 (awarded October 3, 2024) under the 2022 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program represents the district's only non-education federal funding.

Award volume has grown steadily: 10 awards in 2022 to a peak of 41 in both 2024 and 2025, with 21 awards recorded through August 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $85.6 million over the source data window (2005–present). The district serves eight distinct customer agencies; 97% of awards flow through the two dominant Education and Agriculture grantor programs. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The district's sub-recipient posture reflects its role as a direct implementer of federally funded K–12 academic instruction, special education services, career and technical education, child nutrition, and culturally responsive programming for Alaska Native and American Indian students in rural south-central Alaska, with Alaska state intermediaries (Education and Early Development and Department of Health) as the primary grant-management layer.
