Klawock City School District

Klawock City School District, a rural Alaska local education agency serving K-12 students in Klawock on federal property, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient from the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, with subordinate sub-recipient funding flowing through the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. The district operates as a grant recipient (59% of recent awards are sub-awards from state or federal pass-through entities), not a federal contractor, and competes in non-set-aside grant programs reserved for local educational agencies.

The district's federal funding portfolio centers on three core programs. Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs and Indian Education-Special Programs for Indian Children (CFDA 84.299) support demonstration grants including Project SOAR UP ($988,399, awarded October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027) and Project ELEVATE ($989,026, awarded September 30, 2025, through September 30, 2027), both authorized under section 6121 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041) provides formula-based assistance to districts where federally connected children reduce the local tax base; the district received $1.040761 million obligated through September 30, 2031, awarded October 1, 2025. The Small, Rural School Achievement Program (REAP) provides formula grants to schools in rural areas meeting statutory criteria. Work performed across all programs includes general instruction, special education, English language learning, school nutrition, career and technical education, teacher training, and technology integration addressing the fiscal constraints of operating in a federally connected community. Place of performance is Klawock, Alaska.

The district's sub-award footprint reflects channeling of federal nutrition programs through Alaska's Department of Education and Early Development as the prime grantee. Sub-awards cover the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, Local Food for Schools Cooperative, Summer Food Service Program, Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Migrant Education Grant to LEAs, Special Education Title VIB LEA Grants, and supply-chain assistance funds, with 69 sub-awards from USDA Food and Nutrition Service and four sub-awards from the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services dating from February 2022 through June 2026. The district obligated approximately $24.2 million across 146 total awards (prime and sub combined) since 2006. Award volume has grown year over year—seven awards in 2022 to 34 in 2025—with only four awards scheduled for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
