Kimball School District 7-2

Kimball School District 7-2, a U.S. local government entity and public school district headquartered in Kimball, South Dakota, operates as a federal grant recipient (35% prime recipient, 65% sub-recipient) with no federal contract vehicle seat and no contract prime awards. The district receives federal funding for K–12 education, special education, and child nutrition programs through direct and sub-awarded grants from the Department of Education and the Department of Agriculture.

The district's federal footprint is dominated by sub-awards flowing through the South Dakota Department of Education. The top three funding agencies account for 97% of recent awards: the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (20 awards), the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service (13 awards), and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (3 awards). As a prime recipient, Kimball School District 7-2 holds five annual allocations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grant from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards issued each July 1 for fifteen-month terms; the most recent award dates are July 1, 2026 (ultimate completion September 30, 2027), July 1, 2025 (completion September 30, 2026), July 1, 2024 (completion September 30, 2025), July 1, 2023 (completion September 30, 2024), and July 1, 2022 (completion September 30, 2023). As a sub-recipient, the district receives pass-through funding from the South Dakota Department of Education for IDEA Part B (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act special education flowthrough), Title I Basic Grants, Title IV (Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants), Title IIA Rural Education Achievement Program, the National School Lunch Program, National School Lunch Program Block Grants, and ESSER III (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) pandemic relief funds. Recent sub-awards span August 2026 back through October 2023.

Activity was elevated in 2023 (12 awards) relative to surrounding years, with award volume declining to five in 2024, six in 2025, and three in 2026. The combined dollars obligated across all thirty-seven awards total $2.2 million. Only one award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure for the district. The district does not participate in federal contract vehicles and has no history of contracting as a prime vendor to federal agencies.
