Laredo School District R7

Laredo School District R7 (formally Laredo R-Vii School District), a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Laredo, Missouri, receives federal education and community facility grants as a prime recipient and as a sub-recipient. The district operates exclusively within federal grant programs; it holds no federal contracts and does not sit on contract vehicles.

Laredo R-Vii's federal footprint centers on K–12 education funding. The district is a prime recipient of formula grants under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with four consecutive annual awards spanning July 2023 through September 2027 (four-year combined funding of $657 thousand obligated across all 27 awards in the source). The district also received a Community Facilities project grant from the Department of Agriculture in August 2022. As a sub-recipient, Laredo R-Vii flows funding through the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under three federal grant programs: the Childcare and Nutrition (CNP) Block Grant (July 2026 award), the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund (ARP-ESSER) in January 2023 and March 2024, and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) in January 2022. The district's customer concentration is monolithic — 25 of 27 awards (93% of the award count) originate from the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service and Food and Nutrition Service accounting for one award each.

Activity is sparse and flat. The district received three awards in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026. Only one award (combined value not specified in source) has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure. Laredo R-Vii does not act as a contractor or subcontractor; all federal engagement is grant-based and tied to elementary and secondary education operations within Missouri.
