Kodiak Island Borough School District

Kodiak Island Borough School District, a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Kodiak, Alaska, is a federal grant recipient that operates as a prime recipient on Department of Education awards and as a sub-recipient on pass-through grants distributed by the State of Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. The district does not hold federal contracts and does not compete for procurement work.

The district's federal footprint is concentrated almost entirely in education and child nutrition grant programs. As a prime recipient, it holds direct awards from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060), which funds culturally responsive education and academic support for American Indian and Alaska Native students. Recent prime awards include $152,854 (fiscal year 2026–2027), $170,770 (fiscal year 2025–2026), and $190,428 (fiscal year 2023–2024), each covering July through June annual periods. The district also receives Impact Aid formula grants under Title VII, Section 7003 from the Department of Education, with awards carrying multi-year completion dates through 2031. A sub-award from the Department of Homeland Security under the Homeland Security Grant Program (24SHSP-GY24) totaled $128,352 and funded terrorism prevention and resilience capabilities.

Sub-recipient activity dominates the district's award volume. The State of Alaska Department of Education and Early Development passes through approximately 118 sub-awards across multiple federal programs. The majority of sub-awards fund the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with recurring monthly or quarterly distributions dating back to 2021. Additional pass-through funding includes Title I Basic Grants to LEAs, Special Education Title VIB Grants, Career and Technical Education Basic Secondary Grants, Title IIA Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, Title IV Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, Migrant Education Grants, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Grants, Summer Food Service Program funds, and American Rescue Plan supplemental education funding. The district also receives sub-awards for Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grants and Title 1A School Improvement Grants.

The top two funding sources by award count are the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (74 awards) and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (73 awards), representing 96% of total awards. The Department of the Army, Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, and Department of Education Office of Career Technical and Adult Education each contribute smaller award volumes. Activity has grown significantly year over year—from ten awards in 2022 to 42 in 2025—with 16 awards recorded in 2026 through mid-July. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable grant continuation. The district's combined potential value across all awards stands at $3 thousand, while combined obligated dollars total $36.3 million, reflecting the pass-through nature of the sub-award funding and the district's role as a fiscal administrator of federal child nutrition and education programs serving Kodiak's student population.
